However, I could probably get away with an incredibly small and simple car, maybe even a one seater. I don't need any luxuries besides heat for winter.
I am similar in terms of 75ish miles per day. I want the 25 mile buffer so that I can add errands to my trip without having to worry about it.

Hmmmmm. If the net savings in fuel cost offsets the cost of the insurance, then I think that would be a win, because then it would be like running two cars for the price of one. I don't mind the initial cost in this scenario because I could afford to keep both cars. In my present situation, I can't justify owning a second car because of the cost of insurance.
