You can see if you click on my sig (mine is clickable; not everyone has theirs setup so that it is)... That will take you to the list of all my tanks (16 so far; just shy of 6000 miles. S-weeeet!) I'm not a hypermiler by a long shot, so I don't claim to be a good model, although I am probably a good example of a median hybrid driver.... meaning middle of the possible ranges of MPGs, not meaning I drive in medians (heheh!)
Without "cheating" and looking at my log of all tanks, I remember noticing improvement after about 1500 miles and again around 3000 miles. How much of that was the vehicle and how much of that was me is debatable of course. We took the FEH on a couple long roadtrips early (<3000 miles) in her life, with lots of highway driving, so some of that lower mileage is due to hwy driving and hauling a full load of adults hundreds of miles, btw.
