Although I doubt that he can get a ranger to do 84mpg I think they can do better than 20. At a nearby dealership they had some 4 cyl(did the guy say which engine his had) ranger that claimed 27mpg highway although I sometimes question that one.
I had a 1988 S10, same size as a ranger. It was a 2.5L TBI 4 cylinder with 5 speed manual transmission and 4x4. It was a regular cab (no rear seat short cab), short bed (6') and plain, no ac, bench seat, etc. I had an aluminum cap and carried all kinds of tools and gear in the bed and regularly hit 27mpg even with 150k miles on the odometer. I had a 20gallon tank and could make the 500 round trip to my parents house and back in one tank. I'd still be driving it with well over 200k miles now if I didn't need a bigger cab. So getting 27 from a 4 popper ranger is doable.
