drive easy, shift early, use cruise control......i only redline my car about 3-4 times a week whenever i get bored. i usually get about 21mpg with mixed city and highway driving. i'm not sure if you should be redlining a new vehicle anyway.

how many miles on it before you redlined it? I waited 3000 miles.

And are you making sure the car is warmed up before you go over 5k rpm?

Yeah, I hope this thing is already broken in if you are really "redlining" it all over the place.
