Welcome to the forums!
I second mcrews's suggestions. For the most part, they're what got me past 30% over EPA.

Yes, the S10 is a 5 speed, the speed limits around here are 50 km/h in town, 80 on the highway, so I have been driving in 4th in town, and shifting earlier, accelerating slower, trying to use the highest gear I can!
