Is there a way to make a Holden Crewman use less fuel?

I have a V8 rear-wheel-drive Holden Crewman. It's like a pig on gas. Is there a way I could make it use less?

Make sure the engine is tuned properly at all times, resist the urge to carry gear you don’t need (utes are bad for this) and make sure the tyres are correctly inflated. All those things will directly affect how much fuel your car uses. But really, the biggest change you can make to the Crewman’s drinking habits it to control your right foot. Driving behaviour will have a much greater affect than anything else, but it’s worth noting that the Holden Crewman earned a reputation for being a guzzler early in its life.
