Small Town Efficiency

I live in a small town - 1 mile wide 5 miles long.
It has 4 traffic lights and lots of stop signs.
We make somewhat less than 1 trip each day
through 4 stop signs and 3 traffic lights to town.

We also make 2 trips a week on the interstate
25 to 40 miles to a nearby city where we drive
around for an hour doing various errands and then
drive back.

We also make 2 to 4 500 mile round trip vacation
trips each year.

Will we and the environment get any benefit
from getting a 400h instead of a 350?
Does anyone have any thoughts
or better yet experience with this kind of driving?

Smart is thinking you are right.
Wise is knowing you might be wrong.
