Exclamation 1994 toyota pickup v6??

I recently bought a 1994 toyota pickup v6 and it is an automatic (I miss my 5 speed but I couldnt find any decent manuals) I was wondering if there is anyway to get any better gas mileage out of it? I get about 12-14 mpg I change my oil every 3k and clean my k&n air filter regularly.

Id say start simple, give it a fresh tune up, k&N air filter, inflate tires to max PSI's. As far as electronic tweaking, i'll let someone else chime in and follow as well.

If the O2 sensor hasn't been replaced, do that. Probably the #1 reason for crappy fuel mileage.

Have you checked for any stored codes in the ECU?
