This is my 4th brand-new car, and I'm driving it easy - at least for now. Every once in a while I kick it up to 4k RPMs or so, but mostly I'm just driving around town, nice and easy. I just vary the RPMs a lot, do a little engine braking (but nothing that tachs it up too far), easy on the brakes when possible. All of my previous new cars have run just fine, with proper engine power.
Granted, on my test drive, when the car had 39 miles on it, I tached it up to a little over 5k, to see how much power it had during what I would call "normal" use :)
We'll see in several years what my oil/gas consumption and power look like, but I'm not really going to worry about it.
