Buicks get better mileage natively than most seem to believe, not sure what was done but the cars get good mileage for their size.
I'm inclined to think that the overall gearing is quite tall and very well suited to the powerband of the 3.8L V6. I used to frequently rent Park Aves to run around Northern Ontario and I was always impressed that the highway mileage wasn't much off what my carb'd manual Civic got.
