Default Break in period speed question

Hey ho. As of yesterday we own a '10 LX-S. I'm planning on a trip this weekend and besides the usual rules about varying speed, no heavy acceleration or breaking, etc. is there any rule about speed? Will it hurt the Civic to do between 60 and 75 mph in the first 600 miles?

Thanks!

I have broken in hundreds of engines in my 56 years of playing, car/truck/atv's/motorcycles/go carts pretty much the gauntlet, I have followed the following to all of my engines and to date have never had a motor go bad on me, Thoough it is a controversial subject the following works for me very well. http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm

good luck with whatever you decide but I have never babied an engine during breakin.
