I don't think there is anything I can do except keep the tires inflated on the high side of specifications, contributing to a stiffer ride.
The additional truck that we add for camping trips gets the same mileage for the same reasons.
For our camping style I have no alternatives.
I'll trade gas bills with you any day.

Last Sunday I towed the 3023 from OC CA to Morgan Hill, near San Jose, CA. Distance is about 400 miles. I towed at 55 mph mostly on cruise control. My mileage according to the truck computer was 15.8. I can't complain.
I can sure see why Wayne likes this place. Its absolutely gorgeous this time of year. Now if I could only get people to stop screaming at me when they see my NRA sticker.
