I reckon 98 octane is the least of your worries if you're just cruising - Invest in some front-end protection, eg: car-bra, to avoid the complete annihilation that will be the front of your car from all the bugs and shit you get.

obviously ... but if you hit one you're fucked anyway. not as if he's going to install a bull bar before the trip.

based on how uncomfortable my wrx is for long journeys - i would seriously consider just hiring a car and leaving the wrx at home if the price was right for a long up north round trip.

summer time and country roads @ 110, the amount of bugs is insane.
