I don't know what the speed limits will be like on your route, but 75MPH would be 48 hours, 60MPH would be 60 hours. I'll gladly pay the extra to save 12 hours (helps that I would still be getting 40+MPG at 75MPH in either of my cars).
Slap a few easy mods on with whatever time you have left, grill block, try tape wheel covers, and pump up the tires to at least sidewall.

This is a valid argument. With this many miles, it would pay to go a little faster and sacrifice gas some mileage. Otherwise, you will be sacrificing you and your passengers' sanity!
