blending $3/gallon fuel (biodiesel) and $1/gallon fuel (WMO) will lower my weekly or tankly cost per mile, but when looking at the lifetime of the truck it still sucks.

When I say overall, I mean more like "lifetime." How much it has cost on average to own and operate the vehicle for the entirety of its life (in your ownership).

Going with a 500 dollar pickup would be more economical for lots (many lots) of miles than going with even a 1500 dollar nicer "efficient" car (even if one got 15 and the other 30). But, also, the 300 dollar metro blows this all out of the league!
