Which is more than 3x average yearly mileage (13,500). The more you drive the more fuel economy matters. Are you a courier, regional salesman or something?

Commercial drivers that drive a lot of miles care a LOT about fuel economy - at least the big fleets do. They get excited about saving 0.1 mpg. Owner-Operators - not so much. They are the ones buying the cowboy trucks with a big engine, old fashion non-aero design, and LOTS of chrome.

87 octane is $3.79 a gallon at the Hillsboro Costco and $3.89 at the Fred Meyer. Diesel is still pricey though - $4.89 at Freddy's.
