If the slower route is 30% longer then your mileage needs to be 30% better on that slower route just to break even unless you are ONLY looking at the MPG figure, but I would look at the Gallons per week figure, the same figure that says that a 4 mile trip is reasonable in nice weather on a bicycle.
