Cruising for long distances at a constant speed is much easier on an engine....any engine....than daily stop & go commuting. I have driven many different cars 1000-3000 miles non-stop (except for gas) and all held up just fine (even my 50-year old Austin-Healey), so I wouldn't worry too much about messing anything up.

Three THOUSAND miles non-stop like the poster claims?


I'll call BS if you say so. Sorry, NO ONE has the stamina to SAFELY drive three thousand miles. You'd be driving for like fourty eight hours solid.
