Better mileage

I have a 92 f250 351w with the 410 rear end. I'll be moving 1700 miles in the next couple weeks and I was wondering if there's anything I can do to get better mileage on the interstate.

Accelerate slow, drive slow, tip in to the throttle slowly to keep the torque converter locked up. Make sure the tires are aired up properly, and do a tune up.
