I still resented the tax, but 73mpg was pretty decent....until my wife crashed it with less than 100 miles on the clock
So that mpg figure was for running-in miles?
I don’t think cars need “running in” these days.
Certainly not company cars that get given back every year.
I asked the dealer when I picked up my car a couple of weeks ago.
"Not really" was the answer
It does have some guidance buried deep deep in the user menus but you have to properly go looking for it. Don't bounce off the rev limiter during the first 1500km is as far as it goes.

It may be different for cars vs. bikes, but the last new bike I bought (KTM Duke 690 2017 MY), during the 'break in' phase, if you went above a certain rev limit the LED tacho bar turned red. Quite disconcerting the first time it happened. So I had to keep trying to see if it would do it again...
There is no cloud, just somebody else's computer.
