F150 Ecomods(?)

Hi from Coatesville Pa! First post here. I have prolly the worst car for ecomodding. Its a 1995 F150 4x4 with a 5.8L engine. 5.8! It gets like 11 city if that and not much more highway. So With my Senior year of highschool aproaching fast along with a 40 mile daily commute, Thats easily 4 gallons a day! I guess I could ride the bus but that means getting out of the house at 6:30. The commute I take is pretty stop and start with a 5 mile stretch of nothingness with a massive hill I can coast down the a traffic light then another hill. So my question for you ecomodders is what can I do to increase mpg? I have a friend who get 18 mpg highway with his truck and the only difference is it has a bed cap. I want to try a front air dam on my truck along with a lightweight homemade aero cap. Im pretty handy and love making things (especialy model airplanes) so I know how to build light! Any help will be greatly appreciated!
