Get the vehicle up to snuff... adjust them valves, new fuel filters, and well... that's really about it.

Drive about 70mph on the freeway yields impressive economy, I got just a tad over 30mpg doing that in my SD recently. I usually get upper 28s to low 29s.

Windows up on the freeway, that's less drag. Run the A/C the least amount. No WOT from a stop light. I have my ALDA up so I don't have to go WOT to get moving.

Proper tire inflation has been said, don't have a truck full of 500lbs of crap... more weight is bad. Just use common sense!
