Yep, I getcha. I spend most of my days kicking some crazy idea around.
Here is some food for thought:
Back in the day when I was racing the AMA Factory Honda Supersport bikes ran this crazy blue oil that I was told by their engine guy was 2.5w. That lubes the motor and trans.
My F-150 has so much drag from the diffs, T case and trans when it is cold out I will be down 2-3mpg for the first 15-20min of driving.
You are making such short tips I would really consider the "thinner fluid" route. You can always check the trans temps if you are worried you went too thin. As long as the trans stays under 200deg (which is still real safe) you're good to go.
Good luck!
