Had the same problem, I cleaned my Mass Air Flow sensor ( with the recommended cleaner ) and IAC valve. While doing this , I noticed that my positive battery cable was seriously loose at the terminal. Although cleaning the sensors helped, I think my major problem was the battery cable....problem fixed. I'm now a firm believer in starting off with the battery in any troubleshooting procedure.
I have an 89 Buick electra park avenue, and I have averaged 23.3 over the last 2 weeks, using the air conditioning, and with a fair amount of in-town driving, but probably 80% highway driving.

To install a fuel pump on a 1988 Buick Electra, first, disconnect the negative battery cable and relieve fuel system pressure by removing the fuel pump relay or fuse and running the engine until it stalls. Next, support the vehicle and remove the fuel tank, disconnecting the fuel lines and electrical connectors from the old pump. Install the new fuel pump in the same orientation as the old one, reattach the fuel lines and electrical connections, and then reinstall the fuel tank. Finally, reconnect the battery and check for leaks before starting the engine.

Could be low on gas and the gas shifts to side when turning a corner. Try keeping it above a quarter tank.
The starter is located under the engine, right alongside the crank case. As you look to the front of the car, it's on the left side of the crank case.
