Look into getting an aero bed cover and maybe lowering the ride unless you absolutely plan to go off-road (imagine owning a sub-compact car -- would you take it off road? Remember to check how much it is to rent if you need off-road capability once in a while).
To JPMVW73, sorry, but I'm skeptical. Is the 31.x MPG average across an entire tank? If you have receipts, we would love to know the location, fuel price, route, and details of each fill. I have cruised at 70 mph with the Ford E-350 with a 5.4L SOHC, 3-Valve "Triton" Modular V-8 rated at 300 hp and 365 ft-lb torque from Ohio to Missouri. Transmission: 5-Speed Heavy Duty with Tow/Haul mode (helped to auto-downshift for slowdown and held the revs higher before shift for better response). Chassis: Ford E-350 (formerly Econoline) with "dualie" rear axle and box . Payload: 10,000 lbs. FE 9.2.
