they say they normally go over 3 weeks and they look all over my area to find comparable car values, not just old newspapers like gmac is doing

CAr Value

This happened to me in Jersey. The insurance company would only pay fair market value, not blue book. Meaning they researched what similair cars sold for in your area.

I would contact a lawyer and file suit. Tell their insurance company that you will not accept their offer and that you have retained a lawyer. I would keep the rental until you find another car regardless. After all their client caused the accident that resulted in your loss.

Don't forget to put all communications in writing...
