I changed one route I drive, because although the MPG are lower the distance is less, resulting in less gas consumption. So my average score in nothing to brag about, but lower fuel consumption is what it is all about anyway. I picked the new route based on evaluating short-trip MPG and short-trip distance -- both from my UltraGauge. I found that the gallons per trip readout doesn't have enough resolution to be useful for short trips, but the short-trip miles readout is good for this.
