Should I take our hybrid sedan or a gas guzzling minivan on vaca

Mazda Miata....

We overpacked so we had to take our Odyssey after all. At least the gas prices are noticeably cheaper out here, but it still stings.

@Mahkno : Miata is always the answer.

Years ago I had a 3-cylinder Geo Metro that "only" got 38-42 mpg because it had the 3-speed automatic. That car was amazing. I put about 70,000 miles on that car when I had it and it never needed repairs aside from regular maintenance.

@EastBluffCynic : So why did you get rid of it?

@CCubs : A fair question. Someone approached me with an offer to buy it for about three times what it was worth. As much as I enjoyed the car, with about 160k miles I wondered how long my lucky streak would last, and I did have another car to drive so off it went.
