There are a few things that you could look in to. A cold air intake by K&N will add some horsepower and MPG's. The MPG's will only be added if he keeps his foot out of the pedal. I had one on my V8 Chevy and it gave about 1-2 MPG's depending on how I drove it. Another thing that will help on the highway is a Tonneau Cover. Some say it doesn't help, but my gas mileage improved 1 MPG after adding mine. You could also get the computer flashed or get a computer programmer like a SuperChips. These help out but are costly.
