I usually leave Truckasaurus parked at home, since my daily driver gets more than twice the MPG. When we're getting ready to take the fifth wheel out for a trip, I'll drive the truck to work for a few days to make sure she's ready to go. Of course, my commute is only 4 miles each way... I may not be the best example.
As for lease/truck payments, there are none. Unless I hit the lottery, I'm never buying a new truck. Truckasaurus was 10 years old when I got it and I paid cash for it. I don't need to drop 50k plus on a vehicle unless I'm going to use it every day.
