Default Break-in's effect on MPG

Compare our database's averages for the HCH 1 and 2 with CVT.
Both averages are 45 MPG today.

I believe EPA rates the HCH2 about 3 MPG better than the HCH1.

Since all 82 HCH2s are new that implies that break in improves MPG by 3.

I thought it would be higher than 3 MPG.

.

Need fewer troops to support.
Drive a hybrid.
Best tank 71.65 MPG.

Before this car I spent two years learning hypermiling on my 2004 HCH1.
