The trip computers are notoriously optimistic. Best fuel test is to fill the tank, do lots of km's until the same tank-full is near empty then refill the tank. Note number of km's travelled and litres used. Divide the litres by the distance travelled and then multiply by 100. This gives you litres per 100 km's. If you are old school and need to know miles per gallon then divided the constant 282.2 by the litres per 100 km value previously calculated and this will give you miles per gallon.

I wouldn't be visiting the 6,000 rpm region on a new engine.
Providing engine oil and gearbox oil are up to operation temp (about 20km of driving) it does not hurt the engine at all, in fact it is the recommended procedure for running in an engine.

I did say i was doubtful about the trip computer and i will do a manual calculation when i fill up. (i do think i know how to do it accurately....lol)
