Pale,
Very crafty idea!
Several years back I was talking with someone from the office at work, and they were inquiring why I take a longer trek on the backroads to a town that he lives in.
My response was that I get about 75 mpg on the highway and 120 mpg going slower on the backroads. Well, then he said "yeah, but now your driving 4 miles longer, and thus burning more fuel".
Well, it works out that taking the longer route AND maintaining higher MPG actually *saves* fuel for me.
Jim.
