Nah. When they buy FWD, they get an Avalon or Camry. The Buicks are too "sporty" for them. They can still get RWD with the Charger/300 though.

In general, they're old and have "larger" physiques. Younger folks that are larger appear to go with full-size SUV's if they can afford one. If they can't, yeah, you'll see them in one of the prehistoric Panther platform cars.

One other thing, if you live in a hot climate like Florida you are going to get worse gas mileage than a cooler climate because running the A/C all of the time burns gas quicker.
Wel,l from a pretty reliable pair of towncar owner... My parents for starters. And yes, from trips I drove them around, again, their towncar. Yup, believe everything the Department of energy tells you.

Surprisingly the 4.6 engine Town Cars got pretty good MPG's. Slightly higher than what the manufacturer states.

Some people I hear would get anywhere from 24-28 MPG highway and 17-20 city.

That's really good for a V8 and a car that weighs 4,050lbs. The newer one's weigh a little more, but still got around the same mileage.
