My first tank after purchasing this former police cruiser netted 16.37 MPG. Needless to say I was a bit underwhelmed. My last 5 tanks have all been 20.6 mpg or better with a max of 22.4 by simply driving more conservatively and lowering my cruising speed.
Below is the initial game plan for taming Moby Dick:
This could actually be interesting specially if you can go back and get all the police stations that drove this car to improve there mpgs that would have been huge considering how much these kind of cars were driven.

I can vouch for that. A friend of mine could often get 27-31mpg freeway with his '92 vic, but struggled to get more then 17-18 in the city. It's pretty sad. I get 3x that haha.
A rear belly pan to cover that rear bumper parachute should give you MPG! That is a huge parachute! That car would look really nice with genuine moon discs also. Remove the passenger mirror. Tint the windows lower it pump the tires up to MAX. And roll around like a boss. Can you tell I really like the Crown Vics?
