Can you provide some example names? I'm seeing returns of only 1.65% on the Barclays Muni Index[0]

You're looking at the yield; not the returns. You also cannot directly invest in the index but there are ETFs that track it.

Sure - so you're factoring capital appreciation in to the total return for your 4% after tax number? Which would imply that you're not holding these to maturity though right?
