2008 eh? You might note that the fuel efficiency ratings are a lot higher on newer ones like yours than the older models... It seems to me that the transport canada test rating on them is somewhere in the high 30's, which is also a fairly optimistic figure... but it's a lot higher than the old Rangers.
I'm not sure what more aluminum your might have compared to mine as this one already has everything but an aluminum block...
... and where did I say I get 20 with my 4WD? 17 is normal. I've gotten as high as 24.5 per imperial gallon which is something like 22 in your terms without doing the exact conversion. That was in summer driving, heavy traffic where the average speed was probably no better than 55 and all highway miles. I couldn't drive hard if I'd wanted to. The only way I see it doing any better would be downhill with a tailwind.

I don't know if newer Ranger's have that feature, but I know a lot of the Dodge owners like to talk about how they got 30 mpg from their Cummins... but it's in NO WAY an average or honest calculation. I'd wager that about 75% of ~claims~ are based on things like that.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
