v6 gas mileage

Right now my daily driver is my 67 lwb c-10 with a mild performance 350 getting about 10 mpg. There are a few problems with this...
1) 70 mile roundtrip 5-6 days a week=400+ in gas a month
2) Truck requires lots of maintenance and while I enjoy driving it and hear that cam things like cruise and ac can be nice sometimes
3) Tow trucks and break downs are no fun
4) I have no money to put into the truck parts because it is all put into its tank...

I have been looking at getting something newer and have looked at colorados and s-10s but they are just so small so I am wondering how is the 99 to 06 1500 v-6 gas mileage stock and can it be improved and what if anything should I know about these trucks?

thanks in advance
