Talking Babying a car definitely takes a toll on gas
I've been so babying the vehicle for the last few days that my average fuel consumption shows to be about 5 MPG without the A/C on!!!(It's 3.0 liter engine)

I rarely go upto 3rd gear, because I'm just so careful with the accelerator pedal and stay mostly on 1st and 2nd gears with the rpm never reaching more than 2500rpm. I plan to drive like this for about 100 miles, after which time, I'll use more of 3rd gear and so on.

Would you say this is a fool-proof way to break-in a new car?
