Good luck in reaching your goal of 20mpg, have you tried a programmer with an economy tune? the "claims of 3-5mpg" improvement are tempting.
I haven't looked too seriously at programmers... but I've looked at services to reprogram my CPU. 3-5mpg seems outrageous for my truck, most of the claims I see are 1-2mpg. At $200 or so to do it, I'm seriously considering it but I haven't pulled the trigger on doing so since there is no guaruntee it will pay off.
