I drove the truck this weekend to get my Christmas tree and used a half a tank...insane how I put up with that for so long.

Amen, same here. $120+ a week in gas back in the day with my truck. There's lots of folks still doing it and they don't care....

I made an Excel Spreadsheet that keeps track of total fuel savings vs. if I had driven my truck for those miles. It really puts things in perspective as you track the dollars vs. your truck. For me, its $5200+ in fuel savings so far, basically everytime I fill the Civic I pocket $75 vs. my truck, you may find similar numbers for your rides.
