There aren't any huge inclines or major elevation changes on the primary route you show. There are a few more along the grayed out route, but nothing too rough in my opinion. If you go a little farther north in the US, through the Adirondacks and across Vermont and New Hampshire, you do run into a good bit more hilly terrain, though I don't know if the overall fuel consumption is really all that much higher since your average speed is lower. I generally prefer it due to the pretty scenery and more moderate traffic.
Your blue route is taking you along the New York Thruway, the Mass Pike, and the Maine Turnpike, all of which are toll roads. The Thruway, in particular seems awfully expensive when traveling it; I think that's partly because it's a pretty long road, and the tolls add up. Tolls may eat up most or all of your potential fuel savings.
The Canadian route is pretty but somewhat longer and slower.
I have never really experienced extraordinarily long or hard border crossings, but I suppose there's always a first time. That doesn't mean it's always instantaneous.
