I'm starting school and want to know the best way to drive to campus, while saving gas. According to mapquest the highway takes 21 mins. and 14.77 miles. The other way is much more direct and takes 27 mins. and 12.67 miles. I already know how to get to campus both ways but I'm wondering which would be fuel efficent? The second way has a speed limit of 50 and very few stop signs whereas the freeway I'd go about 65. I'm also a new driver so I think I will feel more comfortable, at least for the first month or so, driving the second way. I'm going to go both ways and see which I like more in the next day or so since it's welcome weekend but I'd like others advice as well. Thanks!
