Need to improve mileage!

[my67c20]

What you really need to do is ask yourself the question? Do i really need a truck and why? Can i get by with a fairly fuel efficiant car and a trailer? Do you have a topper on your truck? How many times am i running to the home improvement store for things i forgot? Can i use a minivan with a rack on top for the large stuff? Can i have the wood delivered? Do i really need a 4x8 sheet of plywood to patch a 1 foot hole? Can the home improvement store precut the material to the size i really need?

My brother in law is a contractor he drives an older dodge intrepid most of the time. He plans his jobs ahead of time so he runs to the store once a day, if he needs to haul something big he uses his full size van for that day. It all comes down to planning.
