Egg-salad point. Ya gotta do the math. I admit to "cheating" here and there, but it's usually for saving time or relieving stress. On the way home tonight I did my "non-optimum" route in terms of miles. But, I stay on the freeway the whole way instead of getting off and driving the last 8+ miles on the streets. This is about 9 miles over my "optimized" route, from ~39 miles to ~48 miles.

However, if I wasn't an Ecomodder, I would probably do the "non-optimum" route all the time, and I would be driving 70+ MPH like everybody else.
