Be sure to keep your truck in top shape at all times.
While each vehicle reaches its optimal fuel economy at a different speed (or range of speeds), gas mileage usually decreases rapidly at speeds above 60 mph.

Check your engine oil when you check your air pressure, at least once a month.
If you see a anything on the road, make sure to drive around it so you don't run over it and damage your truck.
Have your truck's engine serviced regularly.
Don't give rides to strangers in your truck.
Keep your truck clean.
