Based on the fact that the FEH manual says one shouldn't compute ones MPG until 1000 miles, and really ought to delay that until 3000 miles has been achieved on the odometer, I'd say 3k miles is more the gauge.

I don't think that means one has to drive 3000 miles after disconnecting & reconnecting the low voltage battery to retrain the vehicle sufficiently, but I'm not a mechanic and I don't play one on TV or the Internet.
