you can boost the overall fuel-efficiency of your car as much as 30% by simple vehicle maintenance and attention to your style of driving.

ensure tires are inflated properly, do not use oversized (or undersized) tires / wheels. replace oxygen sensors if they have not been replaced in awhile. also do the same with all filters as well as spark plugs and wires.

work on driving techniques to help save even more fuel such as avoiding aggresive driving, using the A/C sparingly and even parking in shaded areas instead of sunny areas will all increase your trucks MPG.
