http://money.cnn.com/pf/features/lists/gasmileage/ has a nice summary.

Stinkin' Honda increased the Honda Civic's engine size from a minimum of 1.5
liter to a minimum of 1.7 liter over the last decade or so. The gas mileage is
correspondingly not as good as it could be, but the Civic is still probably the
best of all the 2004 non-hybrid Hondas.

Go Toyota Echo.
