Tracking Mileage for Taxes

I use hurdlr on my phone to track my miles for both personal and business trips. Today I made a trip to the unit that I'm trying to lease and then before returning home I stopped at a gas station for a drink. Hurdlr tracked it and showed my trip from the condo unit to the gas station and then the mileage from the gas station to home. Would I place both of these under business for tax purposes seeing that the gas station stop wasn't really for business purposes but I was still returning home from a business endeavor

@Robert McCormick - I wouldn't overthink it... assuming you didn't travel a significant number of miles out of the way.  If you really want it to be that exact, then take your trip there and double it.

When I tracked mileage, I used a spreadsheet and it eliminated what you are asking.
