Ah, good point. I checked on google and the rout distance is identical. If I can hit 30 mpg on the way home by going around the freeway I would be excited because I have never gotten better than 28 on the way home. It must be up hill slightly. I struggle to keep over 25 mpg at 65 on the freeway going home and spend the rest of the rout trying to make up for it. At 45 to 50 I can mintain over 35 mpg. What a diference 15 mph makes.
Once I finish off a few mods, hopefully I won't be under such a load at freeway speeds. Till then, I may be better off going the slow rout on the way home. Will give it a try anyway.
