Am I wrong here guys? This isn't just me is it?

Why should it be? It is to some extent a hobby, and don't most people expect to spend money on their hobbies? Not to mention that I have an adequate supply of money, and can always get more :-)
But I don't take longer routes
just to increase my mpg number, though sometimes it has that effect. As for instance one trip I often make offers a choice of about 10 miles of dead-straight 70 mph freeway, or 11 miles of 50 mph country road running through open fields. 9 times out of 10, I take the latter. Doing so does boost my mpg number, but that's not why I go that way.
