Yeah, my response was more my way of piggybacking onto your thread to dispense my own brainwaves. It doesn't help you, who has to use his vehicle for his job, at all.

Definitely sucks to have your bottom line get hit this hard. Could you get a Rabbit Diesel truck and convert it to vegetable oil and go the free fuel route? If you have a garage, maybe you could pull it off. There's guys on here who do that. Might be worth it now that you're hitting $500/month on fuel.

You are in a warm climate too- perfect! Go for the vegetable oil- you can drive for free on fryer oil.
