Yup, my truck stays parked unless I need to tow the boat or car trailer, or get materials at Home Depot.

BTW, Costco.com has a nice custom fitted cover on sale for $110.

If you told me what you get at 65 I'd call you grandma. Then I'd ask you to leave it to me in your will since you wouldn't be around much longer.

i ride a bike to work so i am saving $$$$$ of fuel.

But, my wife we driving my truck for a while there since we only had my truck at the time. She was paying $500 a month in fuel so we went and got her a nissan altima, it will pay for itself in the long run.

I am going to hate when i get stationed somewhere i cant ride my bike to work.

If I make it to next Monday I will have filled the tank exactly 1 month ago. I am at just under 1/2 tank and am towing the toyhauler to the racetrack this weekend where it will stay. Sucks that I have this cool truck that is just plain stupid to daily drive at $5.00 per gallon unless I need it to work. What a shame. $500 per month in fuel to drive my truck? Hahahaha yeah right not from this guy.

It would cost me ~ $500 a month as well. With the current prices I'm probably saving $300 - $350 a month driving the G20.

I'm envious of you all, currently I'm spending about $1,200 a month on fuel.

That really hurts but I have to have a truck. What can you do?

How about the school bus, riding a bicycle, or walking?

Just some friendly advice. Try to keep your tank as full as possible for 2 reasons. 1 - Less space for condensation, 2 - finance people call it "dollar cost averaging". When the price of a product is trending upward, the best time to buy it is now. You could have bought some of the fuel needed to fill up cheaper if you have bought it 2 weeks ago.

I'm hoping my next fill-up will cost in the neighborhood of 2.10 a gallon thanks to my close proximity to Mexico.

FYI for domestic pricing - two weeks ago was 5.09. Right now is 4.99.
