    Even if the 115 mile route got you 6 mpg and the 155 mile route got 8 mpg, the 115 would still use less fuel.

    Likely doesn't save you much time either - 5 to 10 minutes at best.

    I have to laugh. They remind us virtually every weekly update to make sure we follow our fuel solutions...but then don't trust us to fuel at a terminal without adult supervision...(When the mechnics aren't in the shop, they turn off the pumps). Fine by me, if management doesn't trust me to fuel at a terminal, then I'll just have to buy commercial fuel and add some more points to my rewards card...no skin off my schnoz.

    I have traveled I-75 many times over the years and I despise that road 100%. I have traveled US 231many times in both a semi and my 5th wheel rv and I would always choose it over I-75. US-231S to I-10E to US-19S to US27S on into Gainesville. A lot less traffic, good 4 lane highways and plenty of places to stop and eat or fuel if needed. It is a lot less stress and traffic as compared to I-75.
