Which car will we take?
The 2025 Ford F-350?
It still smells new & has everything but diesel is more expensive than gas and this gets lower mileage.
If 20 mpg, it will use 125 gallons of gas with cost of $686.25
The 2009 Subaru Impreza?
It gets the best mileage at 30+ but needs new tires and isn't yet 100% reliable. This would save on fuel but tires will be a few hundred bucks. Lan can mount them himself and we'll need them anyway but getting them for the trip means trip money goes to tires.
If 30 mpg, it will use 83.3 gallons of gas with cost of $374.17
The 2010 Ford Escape?
It also has a few quirks but its only getting about 20 MPG anymore and isn't 100% reliable either. With this we could make a run into Cedar City, Utah and bring back more than we could fit into the Impreza, plus we can take it off road.
If 20 mpg, it will use 125 gallons of gas with cost of $561.25
If we take the truck it would be a bit slower just because its bigger but we can haul anything in it and go off road if needed.
If we take the Subaru we'll 'save' on fuel overall but no fun stuff.
If we take the Escape it will cover all the bases.
