. Avoid driving for long periods at constant
speed, either fast or slow. Do not run the
engine over 4,000 rpm.
. Do not accelerate at full throttle in any gear.
. Avoid quick starts.
. Avoid hard braking as much as possible.
How long would "long periods" be?

I never bought a NEW car, so I am afraid when i get home, driving to and fro' will be detrimental.
