I know yours isn't the Supercharged variety, but you could consider it later. I routinely got 33-35MPG in my Regal with five adults in the car. Minus their 800 pounds, and all the luxuries (power leather, dual climate, etc) I'd imagine a Sunfire would achieve great MPG with the 3800.
Looking forward to pic and video updates!

Everyone that owned a 3800 powered car always said how it got 30+ MPG on the highway at 65 loaded with people and cargo. Surprised for it being a big V6.
It's too bad that GM got rid of them ... I'm not sure why, really. They had decent power, were reliable (except for GM's poor gaskets), got good gas mileage and were simple.
