As long as the car is in good shape, you should be fine, but for god's sake check the oil before you go...

Just remember, that car can do faster than highway speed limits at low rpms, and in my experience you get MUCH better mileage doing 80 or so on the highway. It just isn't pushing the car at all.

On the other hand, I personally can't drive mine for much longer than two hours without some kind of small break, it starts to hurt my lower back.
