Even if your MPG is lower, 1/2 the distance is probably going to mean less $ spent at the pump :

40 miles at 40 MPG = 1.00 Gallons
20 miles at 30 MPG = 0.67 Gallons

It sounds like you have a good opportunity to crunch the numbers and see if it pans out. Over time you will perfect your route and learn the lights. Different cities can have different timing. It seems to be a function of the wealth of the city.
