More math for more fun:

Cost per mile:
F150: $57.63/272.53 miles = .2114 cents per mile (gas only)
Fit: $39.97/375.52 miles = .0904 cents per mile (gas only)

So, by driving the Fit you're saving 12.09 cents per mile.
Over 12,000 miles you saved yourself $1450.80 in gas only.

Depending on what you paid for the Fit, difference in insurance, repair costs, increase in fuel costs etc. You could be driving for FREE (compared to the F150) in 5 or 6 years.
