Not a whole lot, just make sure you keep it tuned up, and that all 4 tires have the same amount of air pressure. right about 32psi. Other then that the only way to get better gas mileage would be to not drive it :lol:

I get low to mid 20's in both of mine in town with the stock Hitachi's both rebuilt by me! I've got a 79 longbed and an 80 shortbed. Both have 4-speed's. Can't do much better than that without a 5-speed!
