Welcome!
Thinking of your two routes across the gravel near your house. Have you monitored how much gas it takes you do each route? If MPG is just (random guess) 5 on the gravel but maybe 35mpg on the paved roads where you can do EOC, then perhaps you'll burn less gas across more miles. Of course, I'm just guessing at the conditions, speeds, your MPG.... everything. But route planning around total fuel usage is a good technique sometimes.
Good luck.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
