Since every driver would rather be on the road than at the gas station, pumping expensive fuel into their vehicle, it is important for truck lovers to consider driving a smaller truck so that they can save fuel. The best fuel mileage small truck options are very competitive with even many fuel-efficient cars on the market. For instance, the Toyota Tacoma, or Ford Ranger Short Bed STX both get between 25 and 30 mpg on the highway, and over 20 mpg in the city as well. This means that, if you are willing to drive a smaller truck, you do not have to suffer by using lots of gas and paying more at the pump.
