When I go downstate and back, I can get better mpg taking the old side road rather than the freeway. On the freeway, even when I would drive the max speed limit of 70, Id have 90% of people blowing past me so I like the side road better, even if it takes a little longer. As a bonus, I found the side road is 5 miles shorter than the freeway so still less gas is used.
