I haven't updated my vehicle mpg here in a long time but I keep track of it vigilantly at home. My 2008 ranger 2.3 5 speed rwd averages 27.6 over it's lifetime. Upper 20s low 30s in warm weather and 24+ tanks in the winter. My biggest killer seems to be the AC in the summer though. I try not to use it but I've always had an issue with heat. I wear shorts and t shirts year round even below freezing. But anything above 75 is uncomfortable and anything above 90 is almost crippling to me. I only use my ac when it's above 83ish but it hacks about 6mpg off my trip home from works average. Is a 20% loss common? I had my ac checked/serviced last year but they said nothing was wrong with it. Seems like it really kills power in my little truck too. What % loss is your ac in your vehicles?
