Makes sure the engine is running perfectly. Keep the tires at the recommended pressure as listed in your owners manual and on the drivers door post, do not haul anything around that you do not need, drive the speed limit, take off slowly, and let off the accelerator well in advance of a stop, run the A/C only when on the open highway. Other that these common sense things there is not much else you can do that would be cost effective. Pickups are never fuel efficient vehicles period. They are heavy, big, have large engines, and not very aerodynamic. That all equals poor fuel economy.

Check your driving technique - SMOOTH starts and stops (never floor it), don't speed (higher speed = more fuel consumed), make sure your vehicle is as aerodynamically efficient as it can be - take it from an aeronautical engineer on that one!
