I guess still better if I had no hybrid, but not very encouraging. I have had my car for about 3 weeks now, the best tank I have gotten is 40 mpg.

You're probably not going to see a lot of hi-MPG days during those 5 mile commutes (especially in the winter) because they Hybrid system isn't all up and running with autostop, etc., until the car has reached operating temperature. That means you'll do better in the summer than in the winter because the car is already "warmed up" when you get in it and crank up.
