MPGs

I am curious as what I can do to raise my MPGs across the board. I cant get any better than 14.5 or so right now and with even a small trailer it drops a lot. I have 305 75 R16 mud terrain tires on and need to get new ones in the next few weeks. Should I go smaller? I also have 3.54 rear end, should I look at changing that to a 3.73?

A lot of people talk about 20 mpgs so whats the trick??

Thanks
Tristan
