Mapquest says otherwise; it gives me a driving distance estimate of about 4 hours from El Paso to Santa Fe, compared with 1 hour from Albuquerque. Compare:
I know where El Paso is, having been foolhardy enough to go there for a Westercon once; it's smack ON the US/Mexico border. Albuquerque is, on the other hand, considerably (and directly) north of El Paso, and Santa Fe is a bit north of Albuquerque.

Google maps more or less agrees with this result.
