No surprise those were the loaners, both quite reliable
I made it 10 hours on the east coast highways with a fuel stop, though I definitely had sore buns the next day haha. That's a rough intro to Chevy for you
Dasher would be a fun one to find now, impressive it liked that highway speed
Possible I put too much in the o.p for anyone to digest right away.. really debating what the mpg ceiling of the Saturn's are (sl1, sc1) with a manual (if I can find one not guzzling oil), if the Paseo, Echo etc are as good as they look on paper (my favorite option if found a good manual near me).
Also if those Hondas with a swapped head retain their factory efficiency. May edit o.p. tmw if no one else gets through it.
