The math is actually about right if you take a two wheel drive Silverado with the 5.3 and compare it to a 4-cylinder Camry, base it on the average fuel economy and base it on 12,000 miles per year. Thinking about the actual cost is why we haven't gotten rid of our truck, it doesn't make sense given the extra cost. We save more by just driving less. When it's time to buy, sure, gas mileage will be more important, but only when compared to other costs.
