So, am I missing something here. Or does it boil down to the battery not warming up again?
OOOH! Did I just answer my question?

I have the same type of commute. I have also had a very hard time getting great mileage (especially in the winter -- about 25 - 28mpg). In the summer I average about 33 - 36.
