Is there a big difference between a mountain bike and a commuter or road...

...bike effort-wise? I have about an 8 mile bike ride every day (roundtrip). It's all on the road and it's in Austin, TX, so it's relatively hilly. I've been using my mountain bike; it's a Cambridge Fuji. I got it at a pawn shop for $50. The front tire gets a little flat, but I try to keep it pumped up as much as possible. Anyway, this ride's a pretty big pain in the neck. I'm not the most in shape guy in the world, but somewhat athletic. Would it be significantly easier if I got a road bike or a commuter bike? That's all I see everyone riding around here.
