I know what you mean! I had a '79 VW rabbit diesel that got 47 mph highway, which was most of it's milage.
It was a hatchback, so it could haul quite a load, too - it easily carried all my college possessions (except my desk, chair, bed, and couch), so it came in handy when I'd come home over the summers.
