Cool. I realized today I need to do some more driving. I'm still 150 miles short after two months.

The manual specifically says 1200 miles.

"CAUTION
During the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km),
follow these recommendations to obtain
maximum engine performance and
ensure the future reliability and
economy of your new vehicle. Failure to
follow these recommendations may result
in shortened engine life and reduced
engine performance.
 Avoid driving for long periods at constant
speed, either fast or slow. Do not run the
engine over 4,000 rpm.
 Do not accelerate at full throttle in any gear.
 Avoid quick starts.
 Avoid hard braking as much as possible.
 Do not tow a trailer for the first 500 miles
(800 km).
 Accelerate slowly and smoothly. Maintain
cruising speeds with a constant accelerator
position.
 Drive at moderate speeds on the highway.
Driving at high speed will lower fuel economy.
 Avoid unnecessary stopping and braking.
Maintain a safe distance behind other vehicles.
 Use a proper gear range which suits road
conditions. On level roads, shift into high gear
as soon as possible.
 Avoid unnecessary engine idling.
 Keep your engine tuned up.
 Follow the recommended periodic maintenance
schedule.
 Keep the tires inflated to the correct pressure.
Low tire pressure will increase tire wear
and lower fuel economy.
 Keep the front wheels in correct alignment.
Improper alignment will increase tire wear
and lower fuel economy."
 Air conditioner operation lowers fuel
economy. Use the air conditioner only when
necessary.
 When cruising at highway speeds, it is more
economical to use the air conditioner and
BREAK-IN SCHEDULE INCREASING FUEL ECONOMY
