I'm not sure about that, at least time wise. The amount of time it takes to backtrack east may be offset by getting off the high speed interstate 5 miles further south. In either case I doubt it would make a difference of more than 2 or 3 minutes. The best mileage savings would probably be for those who live near Mallory, and much less for those who live near Brownwood
