Well again, the original poster wasn't "complaining" (as I read it)
Consider this, I think the issue is the incremental costs in things.
Yes, milk does cost more than gasoline, but we generally don't consume 30 gallons of milk a week. If milk prices jumped .50, your weekly increase in cost for your "normal" lifestyle is .50/week. If gas goes up .50, your weekly cost goes up by $15. My guess is that some people lust after the truck, buy it, then realize they didn't consider the impacts that rising gas prices would have on them.
Sure, it doesn't make sense to complain about gas prices. But I think it makes perfect sense to try to eliminate 10% waste if you can do it easily.
Of course, if having great gas milage was the #1 concern when buying this truck, something is wrong...
