The question is though is it worthwhile accelerating up to 60MPH for just 1 mile, then there is a 30MPH offramp onto another freeway that I'm on for 1.5 miles, and again I need to accelerate up to 60MPG. The one thing nice though is the offramp is long and downhill so I can usually end up gliding about 3/4 mile.

Also thank God I have a motorcycle too that gets a pretty consistant 60-70MG around town. But I can't ride it to work everyday, because sometimes I have to carry a few things in my car to work.
