In 2005, a year after I bought my 1997 box with 84k on it, the wife and I drove from Houston to San Diego to Northern California, through Death Valley into Vegas, and home by way of the Grand Canyon. 21 days of driving. 27 mpg on average most of the time unless I was carving canyon roads.
The car did great, even though it had worn suspension parts (learned about that later!). I did not fare so well, experiencing backaches the entire trip. The seats are very supportive at the track, but not the best for a older fat guy on a very long road trip.
