Gas MPG on 2006 FX4

That is mixed driving but only work less than 10 miles from work. It is all stock and what to know what I can do to get better gas MPG. I was thinking exhaust, Cold air intake and programmer. Will this achive me getting better MPG?

I have an 05 Lariat with the 5.4 which is what im assuming you have. I got 12.5 my first tank then i changed the oil and cleaned out the air filter. That got me another mile and a half per gallon.
Great lookin truck though. Welcome

Check your air filter, and oil. Also, you said you're less than 10 miles from work, but you could still try to beef up the PSI in your tires. I run mine at 45....did it at 50 for a while but noticed a lot of pre-mature wear so i aired down a little.
CAI, Exhaust, and Tuner will help, but you're looking at an extra 2 mpg at best i would think (personal experience)
Hope that helps
