Are you sure your mpg has jumped?
The newer Buicks with the 3.8 are amazing in being able to get 30 mpg in stock form with a bit of careful driving. I had one that would cruise at 50 at 1100 rpms. Wish I still had it, I bet I could get to high 20s with it!
And there are guys here with very similar vehicles getting very good mpgs.
