Exclamation Which is Better?
True story. Actual Data.

Saturday night, I took route 'A' home from work.
I had a warm day, warm engine, warm battery. Great conditions.
Route 'A' home was 10.8 miles, and I had 60.8 MPG on my ScanGauge.

Sunday night, I took route 'B' home from work.
Again, great weather conditions in an already warmed up car.
Route 'B' home was 12.8 miles, and I had 72.3 MPG on my ScanGauge.

Which route is "better"???
Which route is more "hypermiler" style???
