You probably should get it checked over, however...........

Driving 2 miles with a couple of stops along the way won't even get it warmed up good.
Mileage may improve some after it is broken in good but your routine won't give it a good break-in either. You REALLY need to do a ride of 10-15 miles at least once a week to give it some good exercise.

My guess is that your 2 mile trips will never average more than 40 mpg.
