Actually a long road trip IMO, can be a terrible way to break in and engine. Getting on the interstate, setting the cruise, and having the engine run at the same RPM for hours is no good. Those first 500-700 miles if I had to be on the interstate for a while, I would drive in 4th, then 5th, then 6th, then back to 4th, etc.
The real key here is varied RPMs and not doing anything crazy until the oil is up to operating temp. The way you should drive anyway.
