I had written a reply to what you initially posted:

Here are three: MX5 (which regularly exceeds its MPG rating), MR2 Spyder, Elise.

But you rewrote your post so that if it doesn't attain 33.6 MPG, it's not considered fuel efficient. That's just silly. After getting 19-22 MPG in my WRX and 15-18 MPG in my RX8, I appreciate my MX5's 27-30 MPG (~75% spirited driving on hilly, rural roads; ~25% in-town; <1% highway).

That Topgear episode was amusing (as usual), but you've come to the wrong conclusion about its results.

All cars sucks down fuel when you race them. The M3, with its grippier tires, superior suspension/chassis, and much more powerful engine basically idled around the track keeping up with the Prius, which was being flogged on its thin high-MPG tires (if memory serves, both vehicles got approx 17 MPG in that test).

The Prius isn't any fun, but it gets 50+ MPG city and 45+ highway with normal driving, doubling or tripling most SUVs. Baby it and you do better. Race it and you do worse.
