For me it is a hobby. A serious hobby; it needs to be effective, and ROI is an instrument to measure that.
I do not really care for the savings as such (it won't affect my diet), but they need to be there or I'm just fooling around.
I'm prepared to take risks. If it works, fine! If it doesn't hey it is my hobby, I can take pride in trying.

(I see now that this was a little off topic. Suffice to say I'll use the route that suits me best based on minimal absolute fuel usage; time, safety, comfort all may affect my route choice, best FE rating does not.)
