It's not something I would want to try now.I'm too folded up in an A to sit in one too long at a stretch.Years ago I would do 1000 a day in a truck.Most of the time I could do it in 20 hours.Now I can't even imagine doing it.250 HP,10 speed,once I got up to speed I didn't want to slow down.That was a while ago,I carried 600 gallons of fuel and it cost me $240.to fill up.It doesn't matter how good your A is,it is still an A and you have to actually drive it,not just aim it like a modern car.I would just go until I felt like stopping,1/4 trip,1/2 trip,or whole trip.
