I have two routes. One through town that is about 12.5 miles, the other by interstate that is about 15. In the morning, at 5:30, I take the shorter, but longer timewise route, unless I am running late. I am certain that my mpg is better on the through town route, as there are few lights/stop signs and i am the only one on the road, putting along at a very fuel efficient 30-40 mph. If I am on the highway, I am running a bit late and likely around the 65 mph limit, or a bit more. I am certain my ranger brick's mpg is considerably worse during this mode.
When I get up really early an dam not being too lazy, I ride my bike and get really, really, really good mileage.
