I drove from Harrisburg, PA to Captiva Island, FL

22 - 24 hours
1 two hour break at a hotel parking lot trying desperately to sleep
after consuming a life-time of caffeine
2 drivers
1224 miles
6-10 quarts of oil
15-18 MPG
a whole lot of music

Last year I drove from Miami, FL to Harrisburg, PA

2 days
1 day break in lovely Savanna GA
2 drivers
1199 miles

Dana
85 Westy with a quite powerful original 1.9 engine, 235k miles
01 New Beetle TDI

Hmm, last year I bought my Syncro Westy in San Diego. Drove it from LA
to Washington D.C. in 5 days via Colorado (among other places). that was
a bit over 2500 miles. Only problem I had was getting over Monarch Pass
I pushed it a bit hard and had the temperature buzzer kick in. Gave it a
rest for a few minutes, ran it up to the Tourist shop at the top and
gave it a long rest (30 minutes). Beyond that it ran flawlessly. Doubt
you'll have an overheating problem on a trip to the frozen north.
