Whether or not you have a SG is irrellevant. You can get better mileage on local streets assuming there are very few stops since driving 40 mph is more efficient that 60 mph. You really do have to try both to see if this is the case for your drive.

You do also need to realize that one route is likely shorter than the other. So, the longer way might give better mileage than the shorter way, but, still burn more fuel.
