I have driven up hwy 30 on that grade. I think it may save some fuel if you avoid the slow in-town stuff in Rainier. If you can conserve some momentum and drive up the hwy 30 grade in 5th gear (55 speed limit right?), it may offset the longer route. Plus, it looks like you can somewhat coast or P&G along the ridge when you get onto meserve rd.
Good luck!
Afterthought: If you coast down hwy 30 it should offset the longer uphill. Thats the other way to get better mpg: more miles on the same fuel.
