Cross country drive in 98 C43
Drove my 98 C43 from AZ to MN, 1700 miles over 2 days. Averaged 24mpg with A.C. on and going 70-80 on the highway. No mechanical issues at all, no engine lights, and uneventful motoring. The car has 215k miles and the fluids, mechanicals, and the suspension were all refreshed in the last few months. The drive was quite smooth and comfortable and it covered the miles very well. These cars are quite robust and gobble up the miles as well as ant GT car out there.

Nothing unusual with this type of drive 
If the vehicle is well maintained, you could drive to the moon and back with no problem. You just need to remember that are girls are getting on in age, so you may be up for a surprise or two from time to time
