Default MPG Savings Tips

My pickup has a 302 and is getting about 14 mpg. I would like to know ways I could improve the mpg. I already have a Cold Air Intake I'm waiting to install. I was also thinking of a timing bump and underdrive pulleys, exhaust. Any tips I would appreciate I would like to get about 20 mpg or better. P.S. I don't haul *** all the time.

You're on the right track with what you've got listed...I've done a ton to my truck with a 302 and I'm getting 18 mpg......just remember, an engine is a big air compressor........it's only efficient if it's moving enough air out as it's sucking in. Change out the O2 sensors if they haven't been done yet and a timing bump would definitely help.
