It is cost-effective to add or trade to a small car as a commuter, or are you locked into the Ranger?

Otherwise:

Lose the lift and lower if you can
Go with the smallest tire/wheel combo
Calculate spoiler placement carefully
Consider frontal and side aero treatments

Step #1: Reduce top speed and learn driving techniques to maximize fuel economy.

Figure shift points for your automatic to either lift-to-shift or allow the vehicle to do so "automatically". Best FE to you.
