For a short commute, you could remove the front passenger seat to get rid of 35 or so lbs.
In my experience with the exact gearing you will get from your VX trans, unfortunately, it is not better for stop and go driving. It is best at 55-65 mph freeway cruise. BUT, the HX's lean burn will work way down at 25 mph. And I have found that my DX loves the 4th gear down to 25mph and fifth gear way down to 35mph. I get great instant mpg numbers (like 70 or 80+ mpg) and a lean AFR in my DX at those speeds in those gears. So depending on the specifics of your route, you might perfect some cool low speed lean burn cruising in 4th and 5th. That would be quite cool.

4 1/2 miles of my 5 mile commute is 35-60mph speed zones and on top of that, I'm going to be working graveyard so there will be almost no traffic which means no red lights.
