I see you use Lube Control LC-20 and Fuel Power FP-60. Two of my favorites going back 40-years (then called Microlube). Really impressive vehicle life!!

As to fuel savings versus vehicle price, were my average mpg at current fuel prices carried back to the date the truck was placed in service (10/03) then the purchase price would be redeemed within the working life of the truck versus the reported average of the more common 4WD version. I'll have to do some research and come to the best odometer mile calculation.
