What's your goal, fuel economy wise? Just minor improvements that look stock, or making it as efficient as a midsize car?

Goal is to move from my 15-16 MPG full size truck into a mid 20's MPG commute vehicle for to and from work.
It doesn't have to look stock, but I will use what I consider to be tasteful in appearance. Realistically, truck is going to be lowered about 3 inches, using stock 14 wheels and tires. Belly pan modifications will be used. A bed cover will be used. Overall goal is a sporty lowered mini truck, that returns better MPG for an economical commute.
