As a follow-up to my fueleconomy.gov post, I’ve found several diesel potentials (with the age being somewhat specified to what would be accepted at home, with 98 being the oldest possible).
So searching takes a while, but I’ve managed to come up with (surprise!) VW’s!

However, maintenance is a whore, so in the end, we’ll probably be blessed with the presence of an old Honda (again?).
