I <3 Google Maps
Found a more direct route to work playing around on Google Maps the other night.
I used to jump in the highway for 2 exits (6 miles) to get to work but after looking around I found some sidestreets that get me there with the same number of traffic lights, at a lower speed (better FE), and is 1.8 miles shorter each way.
Due to the slower speeds and shorter route it takes exactly the same amount of time.
Over the course of a year this change will save over 900 miles on my car and $50 on gas!
You guys may want to check to see if there is a better route for any of your comutes.
