I have seen several cars at my dealer that were delivered with 64 to 66 miles on them. I was told that these cars were randomly selected for road testing at the factory and at the VPC. I was told that cars with about 22 miles were tested at the factory , and cars with about 44 miles were tested at the VPC. Cars with 66 miles got both. I don't know if this is really true, but it is what the sales rep and the service rep told me. The vast majority of cars have 6 to 12 miles on them.

I'm guessing the road test at the VPC involves a trip to the deli for lunch?

Yeah every additional mile will cost you $100. They call it "performance evaluation fee".
