My father drives a 2001 Ford E-150 as a work vehicle. Since it's permanently saddled with about 600-700 pounds of required additions (bulkhead, shelving, tools), and usually some serious weight in cargo (our record is 1339 pounds, cargo only), its mileage is pretty terrible.

He gets about 15 highway, and as you might guess, needs the power that the V6 can give. Any ideas on how to boost the mileage without shedding weight, since that's impossible?

Thanks!
