Aha! A high percentage of your drive is spent warming up the engine. OK, in South FL it has a head start by being maybe 50 deg warmer than mine when stone cold, but you still have to burn the fuel to bring it to operating temp. Consider getting one of these oil pan heaters. Instructions say to plug in 3 hrs. before startup but in your case, 1-2 hours should do it. I have one and definitely found the car reaches "warmed up" status sooner. Medium-small sizes are about $20-40. Some brands come with the high-temp silicone seal that it needs around the edge, keep an eye out for that.
