I'll debate it. Mine's a 4WD 4 liter Super with 32" Mud-terrains, bad bearings and my commute includes a nightly climb to 4,675 feet. Even when my auto wouldn't shift into 4th for a couple of tanks and had to be rebuilt, my (admittedly only 4 tank) average was 18 mpg. In winter. I think 20 is quite doable with mine (I don't commute with it, so it doesn't get logs unless another car is broken down), and 22 if I actually modded it.
