I was stationed in Norfolk VA when in the Navy, & drove back & forth to VA to MI. about every 3-4 months. Also when i was a cop I moved to Casper WY from Niles MI. & drove my 73 there & when you leave Lincoln when on 80-90 it was just a LONG highway. I got to avg. about 95mph & a few times I was up to 125 with it . The car had 3:08's then . Got stopped once but the other cop was just wanting to talk as he was bored because he would drive 4 hours one way & 4 hours back the other for his tour each day. He didn't see many cars back then & seeing a car every couple of hours for him was normal. Going from Niles to Casper I think was right at 1600 miles. Going from Norfolk to Niles was about 850, & that trip would take me about 14-15 hours.
