For the truck:
Yt = (Pr/12)X

For the car:
Yc = (Pp/20)X

What we want to know is what prices cause the rate of cost for the car and truck to be equal. Thus:

Y't = Y'c
(The derivative of Y is Y', and we want to set both equal to each other)

Therefore:

Pr/12 = Pp/20 --> Pr/Pp = 12/20 = 3/5 = 0.6

So when the ratio of regular price to premium price is 3:5 then it is a wash. If the ratio is closer (eg 4:5), then it will cost less per mile to drive the car with premium gas. If the ratio is farther (2:5) then it will be more cost efficient to drive the truck. If your mpg changes, that changes the crossover ratio.

TLDR: If premium is $5.60/gal, then regular would have to be $3.36/gal or less to make driving the truck more cost efficient, assuming your mpg numbers are accurate.

Also, imma be real embarrassed if I did that wrong...
so what you're saying is that my gut is better at math than my brain

Everyone is getting all hyped up on GR Corolla. Even not car enthuse co-workers are asking me if I'm getting one. I rather buy 86 or GR86 before buying GRC. Not that I think, they're not great (cuz it'll be great), but I just like 86 more than GRC.

I like AWD but I've just never liked hot-hatches really. Nothing against them, like if I lived in Europe with tiny roads I might get one for the efficiency, but I don't. And it's not even a bug-eye. I love round headlights. How to do retro without round headlights?

I don't mind hot-hatch... I just prefer 3dr instead of 5dr. But I take coupe/fastback before hot-hatch. That's just my personal preference and nothing to do with performance.

Yeah hot-hatch should be 3dr for sure.

If the Fiesta ST had a 3 door version in the US I'd probably still own it. I loved driving that car, but I'm 6'1". There were many times when it was easier for me to look out the rear window to see directly beside the car than the front window.

Yeah if I was going to own a hot-hatch it would probably a Fiesta or a Focus that you can't even get in the U.S.

The "Hot Hatch" Focus RS that you could get in North America you really didn't want. The wife's dealership sold four and three needed engines. They all needed work even the last version. They repaired other's as well.
I was all hot to get one but hated the seating position. I could of had one at $2 grand below the dealers actual cost. Each time one came in for repairs I was sooooo glad I didn't buy one.
