Very doubtful. Around 84 there were a few cars getting over 40mpg, like
the
Omni or LeCar, but todays cars have 3 times the HP and don't get anything
close
to 40 conventially, Perhaps the Echo.
I had a 1985 Ford Escort that got about 40 mpg with its
little 1.6L motor. Very underpowered and not real safe
on the interstate because of its inability to accelerate
very quick. I would never want another vehicle with
a power to weight ratio this low.
