Welcome !.

6 weeks sounds good, I waited 7 months for mine and received it about 3 months ago now...

In answer to your questions :-

1. 1,250 miles under 4,000 revs, at varying speeds (not a blast up and down the M1 at a set 70mph!)
2. It should be well PDI'd, make sure they throw a tank of fuel in !!!
3. Vary speeds, try to mix it up between A roads/motorways/B roads it all depends how long you intend to keep the car really, if you plan on having it well after the warranty has run out its worth running in properly, and maybe an oil change after the 1,250 miles.
4. My S is three months old now and has 5,700 on the clock, I guess I must have averaged about 30-32mpg (calculated not the computer figure !) the OBC currently shows i've had 35ish MPG average... (I wish !)... I do use Shell Optimax which in may case certainly makes it run smoother

And last of all enjoy !!!
