nicely you're type of both good. gasoline mileage is a mixture of issues. If a vehicle weighs a lot less then it truly is way less annoying to bypass (more effective gasoline mileage). also, the wind resistance all impacts it. A boxy vehicle receives worse gasemileage then a streamlined vehicle. at the same time, having a smaller engine improves gasoline mileage. autos often in problem-free words choose in the route of 100hp to get the pastime achieved yet autos many times have 200hp. So once you've an engine that outputs extra artwork then is needed, you're purely dropping that ability and therefore, dropping gasoline. check out the diagram in that link. it's going to educate you the position each and each and every of the flexibility contained in the gasoline is going. with out a proof, having a higher engine would bring about similar losses of gasoline mileage as having a higher, heavier vehicle. so that you both are good.

If you have no use for a 3/4 ton truck as a truck. What i am saying is, do you haul a ton of stuff or is it used for a passenger vehicle. If you are not hauling weight change the rear end (differential) with a salvage yard 1/2 ton rear end. About 12 bolts, one brake line, parking brake cable..

Take a tip from the racing crew's (you don't need to be racing)Put on headers ($150) Replace stock air filter to get more air into the manifold ($100)Install Small Turbochargers on each exhaust manifold to intake manifold ($200) This $450 investment will pay off in increased mileage, performance (when you want it) and resale value when you want to trade it off to a different vehicle

make sure it has a good fuel and air filter also good plugs and make sure the exhaust is how its supposed to be, if its been modified to sound better like with a different type of muffler it can give you more horse power but less gas mileage. and yes make sure the tires have the correct air presser and loose any access weight from the truck.

1) Use a lighter weight oil if possible to reduce friction
2) Make sure tires are properly inflated - if you have a given operating range, aim for the higher PSI
3) Go very light on the throttle when accellerating
4) Short shift when possible and keep rpms as low as possible; also, aim to keep overall speed low.
All of these will help with milage, but as with all things, each gives a tradeoff of something else.
