Generally, the higher average mph, the better will be the average mpg. Learn to use those as tools to model driving behavior.

It’s all part of the total cost of ownership & operation. Use AAA or Edmunds to get a start. One needs to have all costs in view. You may not have depreciation costs, but your repairs and vehicle time out of service will be large).

Start there.
That app sounds fantastic!

It's not a primary vehicle, so I'll keep it as long as I want or can
(My vehicle philosophy is that it's better to have a few to divvy out the miles between, and a car with no payments is cheaper than a new car)

As to off pavement time, I'm not a hundred percent sure. I haven't had a chance to explore much off road yet. It's probably going to have more road miles at this point.
