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.

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.

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