Ford increased their fuel economy by changing up the standard options on the powerstrokes in 2008 (I think it was) to yeald 10% better fuel economy.
All they did was change the standard rear end gear from 3.73 to 3.55 and they added a 4 inch chin spoiler.
Try an air dam or chin spoiler and finding a rear end with taller gears than whats in there now.
An aero truck bed cap would really help too. You could pick up another 10% just form that.
