26 is good on the 3800 with stop and go. Wife's car (98 intrigue) gets about 26 when she drives with no AC and mainly highway, and I can get about 27-28 from it even with city driving and traffic pulsing the AC on and off, and also off under acceleration.
Tires are at 45 psi cold
Power steering pump has been whining lightly for over 160,000 miles (now has 230k)
Needs front bearings and an alignment
