MPG confusion

[96A4FwdJimmy]

I don't know how I should choose between 6 local miles and 11 highway miles to go to my school each way. I get about 20 MPG 90% local 10% highway. Where one is more efficient for money and my car?

Well it really depends on how much stopping and going you are are going to be doing. If you are doing a ton of stopping the city way and the highway route is straight cruising, I would def take the highway. But thats just common sense, really none of us can judge without being there. Isn't there someone else local to you that you could ask?

I know it is kind of a stupid question. I need to stop over 10 times while I take local. I talked to my friend they told me to take highway because it is just faster. So I think I would take highway.
