I scheduled all my classes to be off peak traffic. I drive to school at noon and head home while everyone else is eating dinner.

I drive about 12 miles on country two lanes with a few large hills and lots of curves, punctuated by the occasional stop sign. Then I hop on MN 36 which is mostly freeway. I'm always in the slow lane. There are two large hills I EOC down while the rest is minor elevation changes. I can usually pick up the draft of a truck while I'm north of St. Paul. Eventually I enter I-35W (yes, the one that falls down once in a while) and draft my way into Minneapolis. More coasting lands me in the traffic snarl that is Henepin Avenue. Then I coast a few blocks to my parking spot.

If traffic is light and I'm in no hurry, I'll P&G.
