Good luck getting anybody, especially a woman to change driving behavior.
1. On a trip that short, it could make a difference as the engine probably doesn't even reach operating temperature
2. Well, I adjusted my driving behaviour quite sucessfully and I'm a woman
I'm number 1 for my make and model on Spritmonitor and get over 165% of my EPA rating.
