Best Answer

Change the differential gear ratio,

Swap the transmission for an automatic with overdrive (700R4 or equivalent,

Downsize the carburetor,

All of which takes money but, I have a 71 C10 4+2 with the 350 cu in engine bolted to a 700R4 transmission which gave me 19 mpg highway, 20 mpg if I held it at 55 mph.
