Good to hear you found another job. It's pretty slim pickins around here. Thankfully our shop is one that is still going but has slowed down a lot in the last year.
I drive 25.6 miles one way, which is the shortest and fastest way but not best for mpg. A different way is a mile longer (4%) but gets me only about 4% better mpg and the road tears up my car more.
