My short/slow route to work nets about the same MPG (and travel time) as the longer/faster route. Overall, less fuel is consumed on the short/slow route.

Good point. My shortest commute route to work has more stop LIGHTS, but less stop SIGNS than the longer routes. If you time the stoplights right, you never have to get 0MPG. YMMV.
