I averaged 24 mpg (80% freeway) in a 2003 Town Car with three passengers and a trunkload of cargo. That was with the cruise at 72 and A/C blasting the whole time. The freeway portions were typically 26-28 mpg. The Crown Vic, being a smaller aero target and without the luxury bits, could probably average 26 overall.
That said, you really can't beat those 3800's. A Buick Century would probably be a good compromise in the luxo/size/mileage race.
