Is it more fuel efficient to do less miles even if there's more stopping and starting?
I've found a route to work that is quicker, quieter and less miles. On the motorway it's 18 miles, through the town and stop/start at lights (although very quiet at that time of the morning) its only 10.5 miles. Which is more fuel efficient, saving 9.5 miles on my journey, or motorway driving with less stop starts and faster mph?

Saving the 9.5 miles.
Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.
Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
