What law of physics says you can't get 20 mpg out of a V8 4x4 pickup? I must have missed those classes.

I wasn't implying that 20 mpg is easy. I was implying that it's possible. And an 82% increase is going to take lots of work, but quite a few folks on this site run >80% over EPA.

Steven, here's a lesson for you (if you haven't already learned it): When somebody tells you that you can't do something take it as a challenge!
