30 miles x 2/day x 5 days/ week = 300 miles/week

300 miles/week x 48 weeks/year = 14,400 miles/year.

14,400 miles/year / 32MPG = 450 gallons/year
450 gallons/year x $3.50/gallon = $1575/year

14,400 miles/year / 32MPG = 450 gallons gas/year
450 gallons/year x $3.50/gallon = $1575/year

14,400 miles/year / 16MPG = 900 gallons gas/year
900 gallons/year x $3.50/gallon = $3150/year

Look into your total operating expenses per year for gas, insurance, annual depreciation, high mileage deducton rate on trade-ins, and maintenance. An older low milage 4 door sedan that gets 28 to 35 MPG may your most economical commuter car.

If you can leave your truck parked in the garage and commute with the older car it may may cost less than commuting with the truck, and you still have the best of both worlds a comfortable commuter car and a low milage truck.

Good luck.
