Divide the cost of fuel by the MPG.

My Altima say 33 MPG. Gas at $4.00 per gallon.

400/33 is the cost per mile in fuel.

12.12 cents a mile. $1,212 per 10,000 miles

My bike at 80 MPG.

400/80 is the cost per mile in fuel.

5 cents a mile. $500 per 10,000 miles

Your truck at 10 MPG.

400/10 is the cost per mile

40 cents per mile or $4000 per 10,000 miles.
