302 gas consumption

allright all my die hard ford fanatics.
what can i do to my 302 to really help better the mpg i get with this baby?
i have an 81 f150, and i'm about to put it to the test, on one last 2000 mile journey, i know it will make it shes a strong willed machine, but if i could ease the trip a little fer her i beleave she'd be a little less reluctant. and so would my wallet. i'd appresiate any input, thanks guys,.... or gals.
