Seriously, buy a beater car that gets 30+ mpg. Driving a huge truck like that daily is rediculous. A small car will pay for itself in no time. Here are the numbers:
40 miles a day @ 11 mpg is ~4 gallons a day. 4 gal @ $3.50 = $14 a DAY or $70 per week.
40 miles a day @ 35 mpg is 1.1 gallons a day. 1 gal @ $3.50 = $4 a day, or $20 per week.
In a month you'd save $200, and in 6 months you'd have $1200 saved. So, as you can see, driving the truck is basically like throwing tons of cash out the window.
