drive the car in a relaxed manner for a while and then after that you can red line the car as much as you want but be gentle for the first couple of weeks or so to be on the safe side.

My rep told me not to rev it pass 5000 rpm for the first 1000 miles but I've been mixing my revs as much as possiible.
0-300 miles - Not pass 4000
300-600 miles - 4-5000
Currently at 600 miles - not pass 5500

I filled up the tank only once since I picked up the car. I got a full tank at delivery. After the fill up i reset the computer. I got approx. 360 miles on first tank, 23 mpg at 39 avg. speed. I'm getting better mileage on my 2nd so far. I've gone 321 miles with 1/4 tank left, 25.5 mpg at 38 avg speed.
