Come back in a day, and you'll find 20 different answers to your question. I'd say just drive normally, and don't do any full throttle stuff (though a few 1/2 to 3/4 throttle jabs to about 4-5000 RPM might be helpful), and try to vary your speed somewhat at least for a little while. There really is no set number of miles, and even when one is listed, the number is still somewhat arbitrary.

That's my opinion. Others will tell you to drive hard to break in. Others will say something else. With today's cars, it probably doesn't matter all that much anyway.
