This is a weird search criteria. Believe me, I've looked. It's not easy.
What I'm looking for is a car that has an extremely under-estimated EPA rating. For example, let's say the EPA rating is 20 mpg combined, but drivers actually average 25 mpg; that's a 25% increase over EPA.
Let me be clear: I don't actually care about good gas mileage; I just care about percentage OVER the EPA rating.
FAQs:
What? That makes no sense! Why are you looking for this criteria in a car?
Local autocross buddies are putting on an economy run contest. We drive to a location and back. He who maximizes gas mileage over the EPA (in proportion) wins.
So you're going to buy a car to win a dumbass contest?
No. I have a connection to rent cars at negligibly cheap prices. Will I rent a car for peanuts to kick my friends' asses and talk shit for a while? Why as a matter of fact, hell yes!
There are other ways to get better gas mileage. Are you stupid?
Perhaps. But I assure you, ignorance is bliss and I won't let you ruin my fun
