Route Change

With the recent jacking-up of the tolls for the roads I used to take to work, I've decided to change my route to avoid the toll roads.

On the plus side:
- Less distance traveled
- No tolls (>$40/month savings)

On the neg side:
- Lower average MPG
- Longer (time) commute

Per month (assuming no weekend driving) I'm still using just over a gallon of gas less with the new route, along with the toll savings; but I miss my higher MPGs...

*sigh* you win some, you lose some
