Even without hypermiling, sometimes the longest way around is the shortest way home.

Of course, then you have to get into the math- is a longer trip at a higher mpg going to still burn more gas than the shorter trip at the higher mpg? When does time spent outweigh gas burned? Is a longer trip that burns more gas worth it if it's simply more pleasant?
