If you go through one tank a week in the truck , then a beater that gets 30+ MPG then in 5 years you would have saved $9000 (according to EPA ratings). The beater will pay for itself 9 times if it only cost $1000 (Old Mech got his beater for $300 and gets 40 MPG). You will save so much from getting a smaller car. You can definitely pull more MPG out of the truck, but would it be worth it to put that much time and money into a truck just to save a few bucks? Or would investing in a used eco car be a better investment?
