I'm not familiar with the 4 bangers on MPGs but, keep in mind one thing -- a
"car dealer" told you it would get 20 mpg. I'm not knocking all of them
because everybody's got to make a buck somehow. I just wouldn't trust a car
dealer's word without doing some research myself.

Just off hand, I would think that the MPG would be about the same as a V6 or
just a tad worse, considering it is a smaller engine pulling the same weight
of the truck minus the smaller size of the engine. But like I said, I'm not
familiar with the 4bangers.
