Your short commute is at least one of the things killing your mileage. Look into getting a block heater installed so your engine gets up to temp faster.

You should be getting above 30 mpg easy with that car. If its still under warranty I'd consider taking it to the dealer and having them check it out. Not that they will find anything for sure, but it couldn't hurt if its free.
