My commute:
10.6 miles total, 3 stop signs and 5 lights.
~3 miles of back country 2-lane with rolling hills, some steep enough to require 4th gear. 35-45 mph limits. 3 stop signs, very little traffic.
~4 miles of 3+3 lane 55 mph, with 3 lights. Traffic can be busy, but with three lanes, I have freedom to drive as I please.
~4 miles of 35-45 mph suburban 4-lane, 2 lights.
Work is slightly lower elevation than home, so my morning trips are a bit better. 90 mpg vs 83 home.
It's a pretty good route. There is a shorter route, 9 miles, but that's all 55 mph 2-lane. I have to drive faster for traffic. I can get 70 mpg on a good day. The longer route uses less gas as well as letting me push some ridiculous numbers.
