Depends on whether you're using a truck as a commuter vehicle, or as a truck. Lots of jobs require a truck, or at least can be done much better with one. (For instance, I'd hate to try hauling a winter's supply of firewood in my Insight :-)) So you need a two-pronged approach: more efficient non-truck commuter vehicles for some, more efficient trucks for others.
