Getting ready to buy F250

I commute a lot and mileage is important.
I thought I'd get 12 mpg in town, 16 mpg on highway, and 14 mpg mixed. That's 3 mpg difference than my f150 that could lead to an additional $100/month in gas.
Fuelly.com is saying it is even worse from an AVERAGE MIXED driving from 11mpg to 12 mpg. The cost to drive that with those figures would cost even more. Is this that accurate as that would put me in the poor house?
I really want this truck but I want to be able to afford to drive it.
Thanks!
Not to mention, gas is 1.50 a gallon right now. While it will be a few years, history says it's likely to be 3, 4 or 5 bucks a gallon before that truck sees it's 4th birthday.
What do you do then?
