1. The dog p**** that is sold today as though it was actual gasoline limits compression and advance (never mind the ethanol). Retune the engines for better gas mileage, several MPG on the highway right there.
2. Remove the 1000 pounds of crap, most of it added on by government mandates, and that would probably be worth 10MPG these days.
I would bet that a 90’s Honda CRX could be powered by a tuned, modern Prius-sized engine and get 70 MPG no problem. And if we were permitted to use small turbo diesels like they have in Europe, more than that.
