Break in talk is so overrated. It's about how you drive and l firmly believe you 'train' the computer in hybrid, depending on your usual driving. I have driven hybrid for 10 years. I took delivery of a new Mav hybrid in Miami, drove to L.A. out of the box at 75 MPH for 3200 miles and averaged 38 for the whole trip. Sure there were legs downhill where it was higher, but overall, 38+. No break in.I drove from north central Vermont to south central NC in mid November. @980 miles and went 70-75 on the highways and either the speed limit or about 5 mph above on the secondary roads. Used eco mode the length of the trip.
It was not what I would call windy but at no time did I have a tail wind. Most of the time I was driving into the wind. I did not have any passengers but did have a moderate amount of stuff adding some weight. I have a soft tri fold tonneau cover.
The truck had about 1500 miles on it at the start of the trip so not what I would call broken in yet.
I got 36+ mpg with regular gas and calculated the old fashion way.
