by using cruise control, you are sticking the engine at a constant speed. To break in the engine thoroughly, you should run it at a variety of speeds.

UMD_MaxSE is correct. From what I remember most manufactures recommend a variety of speeds during the engine break-in period. By fluxuating engine speeds, the piston rings can wear in to the cylinders more evenly.

Never heard of such an issue, cruise should cause your engine too speed up and decrease to maintain a consistent speed thus fluxing engine speeds (i.e. poorer gas milage).
unless you are doing 60 straight flat miles to work, I don,t expect it to do any break in damage.

Whoa! g dogg...three replies?

Anyways, I would just go with the Nissan recommendations anyway even if you don't think it makes that big of a difference although what UMD said makes perfect sense.

same concept for bikes. When breaking in your bike, you are suppose to speed up slow down constantly and not leave it at a certain RPM. You get a flat spot and after its broken in thatll be the flat spot of the powerband.
