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!
It isn't physically impossible to get 20 with a V8 4x4... and yet nobody is really doing it
