I know many people who travel further than they have too, granted not as far as I would have too. The reason I used that example is because it is my 2 routes home. I don't cover many miles which is why it is double. My boss 50 miles a day so 6 mile extra to his journey doesn't seem as bad as mine.
I used to do the longer route because I could keep the car in gear for longer since I found it hard driving a manual since my car crash I done in my left knee and could hardly walk because if using the clutch. With my Astra being auto I can do the short route without being in too much pain.
Again you are looking far too much into what I have said above.
Its for everyone to work out what works for them all I am saying is just because 1 road can give you better mpg is it better than the shorter road that is what I was getting at.
I do agree with what you are saying why do double with no gain but at the moment with the bypass being put in most of my work colleagues are having to do more miles than they normally do not double but more just because of heavy traffic. I don't know what like traffic is like down your way but I do know what like it is round my way and its an absolute nightmare and has been for years so some people prefer to just keep moving.
Like I said above once the bypass is in my mpg go up to 32 as less traffic and probably journey time half.
