This exercise shows that spending money on a vehicle to save fuel makes sense, but only if you are going from a blatant FSP to a real miser.

Yeah, that's exactly what I did. I guess there was a lot more that went into this decision than I let on. My wife and I have a little boy right at a year old. Sometimes I need to transport the little bugger and the single cab Ford pickup was not conducive to that at all. Also the F150, although it was a good truck, it did leak oil and coolant. I usually had to add 2-3 quarts between each oil change and top off the coolant once or twice. Not to mention the F150 had nearly 200k miles on the clock!
