I can see you have joined the elite club...

Break-in?? You must be kidding me...
We were talking about 10k and 50k comparison, not the first thousand miles
break-in.
Sorry, but I was still unable to find a do***ent comparing mpg of 10k and
50k cars.
Can you be so kind (and wise) and give me the link you've refered to?
I am not as good with google as you, and I was only able to find this
page:
http://autorepair.about.com/cs/generalinfo/a/aa022501a_2.htm
To quote:
"New Engines:
New vehicles have not yet had an op****tunity for the engine to break in
(rings to seat, etc.). A typical engine will take three to five thousand
miles to break in, and during this time period a gradual increase in fuel
economy can be expected." I cannot see there anything about 50k miles car
being better on mileage than a 10k car...
Same here:
http://www.autotrader.com/research/article/car-fuel-economy/27009/many-factors-affect-mpg.jsp?lcat=green&rdpage=ARTPOS1
"Engine Break-in
New vehicles will not obtain their optimal fuel economy until the engine
has broken in. This may take 3-5 thousand miles."

Nothing anywhere about the effects of engine break-in
after the first 10k miles and between 10k-50k period.

Show me how you, my Master, use the google, please!
