Bet that hill has been fun in this snow
The shorter route is how the way I'd go. But, how much time does it take each way? Traffic?

4.1 miles, 9 minutes (based on Google). I have five spots on this route where I need to either stop or slow down at the bottom of hills. GRRR! The biggest hill is over 200' of elevation change in half a mile. I climb it in the morning and engine brake down it in the afternoon (2nd gear). Stop sign at the bottom.
Longer, but flat
7.2 miles, 15 minutes, three stop signs, quite flat.
My goal is lowest fuel consumption, not necessarily best mpg (the second route would obviously be better for that). What do you all think?
