Although doing P&G with 6 people in the truck im sure at least one of them would ask what you were doing.
Anyway if you aren't yet doing P&G that should push you over the 20mpg goal.
If you have no idea what P&G let me know and ill explain.

I don't really P&G, but I will coast in neutral when I can (coming to a stop, slowing traffic, down hills, exiting a freeway, etc). I have concerns over shifting back and forth TOO often and long term reliability of the tranny. I tend not to do it as much with other people in the truck though (especially a full load since it's harder to shift with someone in the middle front seat).
