So on average thats 6 start ups. Thats about 4 miles a start up, which could be the reason you aren't getting good mileage. Have you ever gone on a road trip with the car and if so, what was the gas mileage?
Also, letting the car warm up for 5 mins is wasting gas. Unless its really cold (i.e.- temps I highly doubt it reaches in TX), 30 seconds is all you need. Just don't rev it past 3k until its completely warmed up.
I just filled up today after 424.5miles and it was 15.7gallons. Thats about 27mpg. 60% highway, but there were quite a few high rpm pulls getting on the highway and alot of high rpm 1st and 2nd gear action in the city.
