2007 Chevy Silverado 15 mpg!!!

I purchased a new truck towards the end of last year. Since then the gas prices have skyrocketed. I'm paying close to $96 every 2 weeks on gas. It is starting to make me go broke! With no pay raises in sight I’ve looked at other options to driving. A few of them I’ve looked at are taking the bus to work, I thought of riding my bike, or even walking. Walking and riding a bike may be difficult because it is 14 miles round trip. I really don’t want to get rid of the truck because I use it to drive to work everyday. I originally got the truck with the mind set of using it to haul equipment for my job, not so much anymore. I’ve tried some easier options and they don’t seem to work! I am open to any suggestions.

15mpg Average (City Driving Only)

Also quick question to add, is it me or does it seem like the newer cars have horrible gas mileage compared to cars of 10 years ago? Is it just me?
