Wow - that's unusually rare. Most factory gauges are optimistic.

I have the auto CVT trans so I am leary about trying any more advanced hypermiling techniques such as pulse and glide.

Honestly, if your CVT is as aggressive as many recent ones have been at getting the engine RPM down low at cruise, I wouldn't bother trying to P&G.
But does the car have a "manual" mode? If it does, one thing you might be able to do is request a lower engine RPM sooner than the default programming.

Its such a short drive the car never has a chance to reach full operating temperature.

A block heater would help.
