If you are looking to drive on the freeway at 75+ mph, I'd say all these are out...

"Classic Mini Cooper, Datsun 510, BMW 2002, Mazda RX2, RX3 or RX4"

Not that they can't do it but they do not do it comfortably nor quietly. I've driven those all. I'd suggest E36 M3, '95+ 240sx, '02+ mini cooper, '00+ GTI 1.8T chipped, or a '02+ Lexus IS300 (though it'll barely meet your MPG requirement). However, the back seats in the MINI and 240 are next to useless.
