Drive like there is an egg between your foot and the gas pedal.
Smooth driving will likely give you your greatest improvement in gas
mileage.

If you have running boards or anything similar, get rid of them
Large mirros make a noticeable difference. I have noticed people on the
interstates lately with one or both foled up against the body.
Tonneau cover, or even better, a bedcap.
Front air dam

All of these will only help highway fuel consumption. The total of all of these
might be 1 mpg
Around town, the biggest factor is vehicle weight, which you can't do much
about.
High tire inflation pressures do help some

Has anyone added anything to their 5.4 liter Supercrew to significantly change the gas mileage? Right now, I get 15 mpg. Thanks, RayJ 2001 F150 Supercrew
