I am little bit behind right now but Fueleconomy says that the last year for
the Olds diesel, 1985 was 18 City, 26 Highway or if you had the Overdrive, 27
Highway

Buy it up, I'll drive it out to you.
Any guesses on the fuel economy? I speculate something like a 116 SD,
mid 20s...

That is a nice 98. I think the seller is wrong about the transmission.
One of the technicians at the Olds dealership I worked at had two of
these. He kept two spare injection pumps around. He swore that they
had no head gasket/head problems if you changed the coolant often and
replaced the intake gasket every 30,000 miles.
I did have a 1981 Olds 98. It was stolen in Atlanta and the police
found it a few days later. They broke the steering column and started
the
car with a spoon (they left the spoon in the car and the cop showed me
how it worked). I was in college and didn't have the money to fix the
column, so I started it with a spoon for almost three years - until I
ran into a fire hydrant and totaled the car.
P.S. you know how fire hydrants always break off in movies or TV? Well,
I can tell you they do not break off in real life. They have a big ole
steel support pipe that can easily take out a 1981 Oldsmobile 98.
