Message Alright, I'm in college now. I reside at Iowa State University but home is Omaha Nebraska. Its just under a 200 mile drive one way and about 3 hours long. Now that I will occasionally be driving to and from on weekends I just had a few questions.

First off, i will probably be going home and back once every other week or so. I know highway driving is generally better on a car than city driving. I just wanted to know if there is anything I should pay attention to.

I have 117000 miles on the car. Just got the timing belt work done at 116500 and all my injectors have been replaced within 8000 miles. Anyway, is there anything I should keep an eye on as much highway driving as im doing? Also, when i get open highway (heh, you probably see where this is going) i by no means go the speed limit (cut me some slack, i do drive a Z after all, they just ask to be driven fast...). In fact, i recently made the trip in 2 hours going between 90 and 130 miles an hour all the way from omaha to ames. What rpms should i stay around on the highway? I know driving it exceedingly fast for extended periods of time isnt good, so i dont, but you get the idea. Any insight is helpful, and thanks in advance
