But really, trying to get better FE in a pickup without major aerodynamic and/or drive train changes is pretty difficult. Buy a cheap little runabout to drive to work, and use the truck only when you have to. 1988-2000 Honda Civics are like go-karts to drive and non-Si models get good fuel economy. Parts are cheap as can be. Mine's for sale.
Block the grille as much as it'll put up with. Add a deep air dam up front and build an aerodynamic topper. Skirt over the wheel wells- you may be able to attach skirts in factory holes.
Make your truck look like this...

Without going into details I work at GM and this was a leftover truck...I really got a killer deal on this and actually paid what used trucks of comparative equipment were selling for. Great pics and thanks for them.
