Try checking the TPS (throttle position sensor) usually they raise the Rpm on Idle like that or on Drive .That be the first thing I do . Then check your Tachometer it may have a short bad connection etc. Also clean or replace the IAC (Idle air control Valve) as needed . Hope this gives you an Idea on where to start.
Around 27-29 highway is possible.
Check with the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration of the US gov't.
The revised EPA estimates for that car are 17mpg city and 26mpg highway.
I get about 27mpg combined highway and city with my 2004 Alero
They get about 16 city mpg, 24 on the highway, averaging out to 19 mpg.
City= 19 Highway= 30 Observed= 22
The 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue gets an estimated 19 mpg in the city. The vehicle gets an estimated 30 mpg highway mileage.
If the 1994 Oldsmobile with the 3.4 liter engine is the Olds Cutlass Supreme, the horsepower is 210. This car gets 19 miles per gallon in the city and 29 mpg on the highway.
29 City 38 highway my 96 with the same body and the 3800 engine got 30mpg highway until my son started driving it now it gets about 25
Mine gets 27 to 29 on highway and a about 20 to 21 for a combo.
Expect 26 city, 34 highway in realworld. EPA estimates and different driving styles may cause variation.
14 to 16 mpg in city driving roughly. Around 20 mpg highway. Its pretty good for a big car.
