I'm open minded. I'd love to see it proved to me "in person." I've tried. I've challenged many people on their inflated fuel mileage claims and driven several of these "suspect" rigs. Not one panned out yet to be true. If I ever found one - I'd copy what it had and drive it. I've driven all these rigs new as well as compared notes with many others. When Ford came out with the IDI 7.3s - all the 4WDs when driven at 1000-2000 feet elevation got a best of 14 MPG. When the 5.9 Dodges came out -4WDs with manual transmissons were well known to get 20-21 MPG when empty. That was with the old diesel fuel that had more BTU content then the newer low-sulfur fuel. 2WDs (lighter and lower) when driven at near sea level were known to get 22 MPG. I've got a 1983 Chevy K10 with a 6.2. 3.07 axles, and a four speed manual overdrive that got 24 MPG near the Ocean in Long Island, NY. In the hills in central NY - with today's diesel fuel it gets an even 20 MPG if I baby it. My 92 Dodge 4WD extended cab and 8 foot bed, with 3.50 axles and 5 speed Getrag -used to get a best of 21 MPG with the old diesel. Now gets a best of 19 MPG. Anyway as to your claims -I'll glady believe them if I ever see them happen. So would a lot of auto engineers.
