The other option was her next door neighbour's 1989 Buick Electra Park Avenue (3.8 V6, 4 speed auto transmission). My cousin bought the Buick and we got a solid 19/ 29 mpg.

I had one and without a doubt, it was one of the nicest cars that I have ever owned. (comfort, ride, styling and engineering)
I was getting around 20/30 mpg so your 19/29 mpg is spot on.
That particular 3.8 in my opinion, is/was the best engine GM has ever produced.
When I sold it, it had around 240,000 miles on it and still ran like a champ with zero mechanical issues.
Knowing what I know now, I would get a MPGuino and wire it in.
I'm sure there's untapped potential there.
