Yes, I fully understand the pressures of commuting, but you live in gorgeous country, and can't have much traffic congestion. Going slower only costs you 5 or 10 minutes each way, so give it a try for a tank. I used to take 6.5 hours to drive so SoCal to my mom's. Now I go so slow, it takes me 8 hours, but I don't have to stop midway to fill the gas tank, and I enjoy watching the scenery and gaming whatever car I'm driving to get the best mpg.
