At 40mph or less most of the time, heck, don't change the gears because your not going to gain anything, it's only at higher speeds that a low set of gears really starts costing gas miliage when your limited with a 4spd. Well I guess maybe a tune up would be best unless you yank the motor and replace it with a 300ci straight 6 like someone else mentioned. I think I got around 18mpg out of my 1989 F150 4x4 8' box, regual cab, 4spd, 4:10 gears, with it's fuel injected straight 6, granted it's power is going to be considerably less than the motor you got now, and it wasn't a high revving motor, which you probably won't like for a mud truck.
