Question: How to drive manual transmission? my shifting choices are L, 1, 2, 3, OD, and R not the typical 1,2,3,4,5,R?

Both are 5 speed transmissions, just labelled different.

It may be intended that you can usually take off in the 2nd gear on the first choice, and that L is a very low gear intended for off-road or heavy loads. Try it and see. OD and 5th are the same. It's the highest gear you use for open road cruising, usually after you get up to speed though the other gears. You may not even use it for city driving.

Question: How long will my Houston commute be from Midtown/Downtown to energy corridor?
