Google Maps will show most fuel efficient route

I'm not the biggest fan of just linking to other articles, but this is pretty big (in my opinion):

Google is making a change to the algorithm used to help navigate drivers from point "A" to point "B" in the fastest time. Sometime later this year, Google will push out an update for Maps that will no longer show users by default the quickest way between two points, but will instead show the most fuel-efficient way to get to point "B" from point "A." The new algorithm will take into account fuel consumption and focus on how much gas is being spent instead of how much time is being used during an automobile outing.
I wonder how many millions or billions of gallons of fuel this will save.
