Your numbers don't add up.  8 hrs. @ 75 mph--that's 600 miles one-way.
Then what,  you turn around and drive 8 hrs. back?  That two tanks of gas
each way, 1200 miles a day?  4 days a week, that's 4800 miles a week.  In
10 weeks you'd have racked up your 48,000 miles.  Three years, that's
750,000 miles.  Exaggerate much?

I drive my '89 automatic 75 all day long-8 hour one way trips 4x weekly.
Have been for 3 years and 48,000 miles of the 93,000.  YMMV
