Sorry to be a pessimist but maybe a 2wd vehicle single cab or something. I have 2 co-workers with 4wd Excursions 1-'99 with hypertech and intake he gets 16 highway 13 mixed, the other stock '01 same year as you, and he complains constantly he only gets 13 mpg.
Maybe we get crappy gas or they high altitudes here create issues but I have yet to see 20 mpg personally.
My inlaws ran a waste water company that ran in the remote oil fields. They had a fleet of over 15 F-250 powerstrokes ranging fromm 99-02 extra cab to 4 door and they say the same 15 mpg average at best. They just all swithced to Chev gassers except for the dedicated pulling trucks that are Dmax's. They said diesel just was not economical anymore for the fleet.
