Aim for both: high MPG
and low number of miles to reduce the gallons of fuel being used.
Picking the right vehicle, with good fuel efficiency, remains important regardless of how many miles you put on.
Let's see how that works out.
Though I've done about 2.5 times as many miles as you, I've only used 1/3 more fuel.
On as many gallons of fuel, I'd have covered twice the distance.
Or the other way around, for 7000 miles, I'd only have used half your amount of fuel.
