Traveling

I have plans of driving my 2001 si to Vancouver from Calgary in March.
Just have a few questions..

1.How would the gas be?

2.Should I rent instead?

3.Any problems with this car on the long highway drives? (10 hour drive)

4.Any other things I should consider?

Thanks

OK I'll bite

1.How would the gas be?

duh what? you mean cost?

2.Should I rent instead?

If you don't think your car is in good enough repair then, I guess.

3.Any problems with this car on the long highway drives? (10 hour drive)

no, even speeding like that.

4.Any other things I should consider?

Make sure you wave as you go by my place.

of course the price man what else, i'm worried cause it revs over 3000 the entire time basically. I'm not worried of repairs, worried about any common problems.

says about 1000km so about 1 1/3 tanks or gas each way. Faster you drive the lower your mileage.

3000rpm should be around 110km/hr. 3000rpm is within Hondas recommended spec.
