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.....

Those cars and that engine are great, had one, drove the hell out of it seemingly forever! We put around 250k miles on it then ironically the engine blew up in a fast food drive through sitting there idling. Complete WTF moment. But loved the car otherwise.
