I had the same problem, because i have the same truck. If you want a semi inexpencive way to increase MPG add a cold/cool air intake to you truck, gave me near 6 more miles to the gallon, cost around $250 but it'll save more than that in the long run.

elaborate on how to get CAI and how to install

**Mistake** No cold air intake, but this will get you better MPG****

K&N make a filtercharger kit for 300 I6, AIRAID makes another kit, Includes a mounting bracket and additional hosing. Your gonna need a drill, 2 1/4 socket, and time. You gotta drill and mount a bolt through the fender well, and also mount a bracket onto the coolant housing.

Also, heres a throttle body spacer that will also help.
