I agree s_c5519, you won't see much better gas mileage than what you've reported. It's more the weight of the wheel (tire + rim) that impact MPG; if it weights more, it's harder to turn. As you read around you'll find that 12.8 is a pretty high number for these trucks.
Regarding 'advantages' of 20" rims...I'd say 'street looks'. If you're planning on off-roading then I'd say go with a smaller rim size...more rubber, less metal.
