The 4-mile trips will kill your MPG, but that's the same with every car.

I know, I'm lamenting the fact that I can't do much better than 43-46 on my daily commute.
I drove from Los Angeles to Laguna Woods (and back - 110 m total) on Sunday (light traffic) and got 56.7 mpg.
Of course I'm just getting out of the "break in" stage - hit 500 miles last night. I'm hoping even with short commute I'll eventually be able to get 50mpg for those trips.
As the weather and my health improves I hope to start walking to work again - which is another type of conservation altogether.
