If it's only one mile to your train stop you're doing very well to get 12 mpg! My other car is a 6 cylinder Golf, which displays average mpg on the trip computer. After I start it up cold it's in the 12-14 range after one mile and you can just watch the mileage go up as the engine warms up. A cold engine runs a richer mixture. Our ML doesn't have the trip computer so I don't know specifically, but you get the idea.
