I've seen this line of reasoning a lot GoldenRivet so please don't feel that this is directed solely at you, but did you ever think that the person driving around alone in that F-150 might be doing so because the pickup is the only vehicle he owns, and he just might have other valid uses for it besides the one he's using it for at the moment?
I mean it'd be nice to have a stable of cars and trucks matched to our various transportation needs but the truth of the matter is that most of us can afford just one vehicle. It's a lot of money to put a 2nd car on the road. Cost of the vehicle, taxes, insurance, maintenance, parking, all of that is going to likely far outweigh the extra gas required to drive the truck all the time.
