Well, the first 7-11 miles are in question, after that, its the same
route via highway. Time wise is the same. Am inclinded to just go the
same old highway longer route I have always gone. Though I would try
the short cut a couple of times to see if it saved time or mileage.
Time is about the same, but mileage was not sure of.

Which car? If an 85 190D, the www.fueleconomy.gov site says 26mpg
city and 35mpg highway.
Taking those as an example, the shorter route is more like city
driving, so 21 miles at 26mpg =
0.8 gal. The 25 mile route sounds like highway driving, so 25 miles
at 35mpg = 0.7 gal.
If the shorter route is partial steady state driving (1/2 mile
constant speed between stop signs), and there are some stops on the
longer route (getting to and from the highway), I'd guess that it's a
wash.
Take the fastest route and forget the fuel difference. It's too small
to mess with.

The total route is about 25 miles or so on the long route
