No car, except for maybe an electric, will meet the EPA mileage rating with only a 2-mile commute...the car will be in cold-start, warm-up, richer mode the whole trip. I've run into the same issue since I retired. My previous work commute was about 20-miles each way and I was averaging about 22mpg. Now, with mostly runs to the store or mall which are close, I'm averaging about 12-13mpg. At 2-miles, you might consider just walking! Infinite MPG then! Your heart would thank you if it could talk.
