At $1.60 gal, cost is $0.08/mile for fuel. 1.6 mpg improvement is ~8% or $0.0064/mile, or $6.40/1000 miles, or 200,000 miles to recoup the $1300. At 20,000 miles/year rate of return is 10%, pretty good, but principal is probably diminishing in value; you won't get $1300 more for the truck in 10 years/200,000 miles.
Economic calculations aren't everything.
