Yo G. You need a SuperMID! Maybe when I come down to get my tranny, we can throw mine on REX and run each of the routes. The readings may be off but the relative readings are all you need to see. You will be amazed at the FE when cruising in 5th at 35-40MPH. :-) |
The red looks the best.
The red looks the best. Yellow looks good too. I would take the yellow late at night (You would hit more greens).

are there any elevation
are there any elevation changes you can use to your advantage in any of these options?
after making a "preferred" route selection, don't forget to factor in wind conditions on a day-to-day basis. e.g. all else being equal, you may want to choose a lower-speed route if the wind is honking in your face on a given day. good thread - and props to krousdb for raising the profile of this topic in general! |

Pike at 55
I've driven that section, and I know that everyone drives 80+, but could you take Jersey Pike at 55-60? That might gain you the best mileage over that distance. Around here, I've taken up driving 57 in 65 and 70 zones and people just pass (mostly 3-lane), and I get the best highway mileage. I sometimes take the middle lane or the right lane, depending on the on-ramp traffic, but people don't seem to mind around town. When I tried it out on I-70 between St. Louis and KC, it's 2-lanes in each direction and pissed people off that they had to sequence into the passing lane.
