Fuel mileage

Sorry this isn't 3rd gen related but it is about chips. My 88 f250 gets 10mpg, And with a trip to work being 30 miles it is getting expensive fast.

My ? is can a chip be burt to increase gas mileage, I don't really car if I lose some HP. Also if I keep my stock chip can I just swap them back and forth when I need to tow the bird to the track.
Please any help would be apperciated.
Thanks
John

Might check some of the RV magazines and sites. They generally get into those issues.
Maybe just get a new Powerstroke <g>...
Now that's how to tow.
