It's hard to believe that at 2,800 miles the oil is thickened.
Gas mileage should go up a bit because of probable slight thinning at those low miles.
I have to agree, something is a miss here, perhaps a used oil analysis would be useful here at the 2800-3000 mile mark. Just be sure it is the oil normally used.
