Dad's Buick

My Dad went into assisted living a few months ago. He has a 2003 Buick Century that he can no longer drive due to poor vision. I can buy it for the Blue Book price of $5600.

With diesel almost $4.00 per gallon, I'm considering buying it. The Buick is rated 20/29 the old way and 18/26 the new EPA ratings. This is considerably better than the actual Blue Beast mileage. It's WAY more comfortable than my wife's Corolla. It looks reasonably aerodynamic, and I can bump up the tire pressure a few psi, and perhaps get over 20 mpg city figure.

Anybody have real world hypermileage data on Buicks?
