    Any constructive ideas
    For a “small” truck
    Maybe 18 freeway , 14-16 town
    I am a very conservative driver

    Regrettably, there is not much we can do to improve the mileage other than drive more conservatively. If you are looking to save money on fuel, some of the gasoline shopping apps work really well.

    New air filter, clean mass air flow sensor, stock- size tires properly inflated. You honestly won't get much more than 18 mpg if it's 4x4.

    Tune up, fresh fluids in everything if they're overdue. Scan the ECU for codes, especially if you have a check engine light on.

    I've played around hypermiling. At 46-50 mph I can get 21mpg.

    I could only stand that fuckery for a couple of days.
