I know honda civics get around 1,000 miles a gallon, and the cost about the price of a full up of our trucks, maybe you should look into those? I get 11mpg all the time, I love the truck is what I expected I would drive it if it go 1mpg,, its the cost of driving a guzzeler. I lost a injector once, and my truck ran like it had a monkey cramed in its tailpipe, and that was 7 cyl, i can only imagine it getting worse with the more you take off.
