Remember ... best not to use cruise control during the break in period. Your mileage will improve, but you didn't buy the car for gas mileage did you.

cruise control is bad for break-in. You're not supposed to drive a constant speed for prolonged periods.

One of the first things my father-in-law asked me when he saw the car was...
".. so it's good on gas?" I told him that you don't buy a car like this

for "good" gas mileage.
