Default xA & xB Owners... question

So I was wondering this... for those of you who own both an xA and xB, how do you decide what to take/when? lol...

we have a 05TCM xB and 05 PW xA and always fight to see what car we take, usually the xA winning for long trips since it's more areodynamic and has regular tires so it's an easier ride, xB mainly getting around town stuff done.

Darn, I wish I had this dillema... Two Scions to pick from...!

If it's any help, my xA gets most of the mileage, the 86 Monte SS sees very limited mileage, the motorcycle gets mileage only in the spring/summer/fall, and the 84 Trans Am isn't ready yet...

But I think it would be very nice to have 2 Scions to pick from! Maybe someday...

It actually can depend on a lot of things. I have an xA and my wife has the xB. There are times when we will take the box if we know we will be hauling something large or if we will be bringing home a huge load of groceries. Most of the time, I try to split up the useage to even out the milage. Both cars are '05s and we both have a short commute to work, so it's not too hard to keep them about even.
Honestly, the thing that becomes the deciding factor most often, is which car is clean. For example: if I just washed the xB and they are calling for rain later, I'll leave the xB home in the garage and we'll take my xA. Or vice-versa.
