The Mazda. It's my company car and that's the only reason I travel to Boise. It has a 15 gallon tank and probably averages 25 MPG on these trips due to 75-80 MPH zones.

I could make the trip on a car that has a 500 mile range, but not 300-400. Mazda has a weird quirk where it occasionally doesn't pick up the last 2 gallons of fuel, making me treat the car as if it's got a 13 gallon tank (and carry an emergency gallon).
