Yes, mileage will go up. Not only because the car gets broken in, but because the driver gets broken in too. While a car is new (to you), it's tempting to step on it every now and then, without thought of how much that affects your mileage. (Drive aggressively for a mile at 10 mpg and another mile frugally at 50 mpg, and your average isn't 30 - it's 16 mpg.)
Sure, you can have fun with the car too, but be sure you don't measure the mileage in a way that includes the fun time.
