Short trips definitely do kill mileage. I don't even break 40 mpg in the C until 1.5 miles in the trip.

I also have my Scangauge programmed with an XGauge to detect use of friction brakes. This way if I have to brake I'm only using regen, which helps around town a lot. Eco mode on always, cruise control always with neutral coasting down hills if the engine is off, and accelerate with the throttle just before it hits the red PWR/POWER range.
