Default Big risk trip?

Im going to MN from NJ and wondering how big of a risk it is to my car.

the car is a 1994 civic coupe dx, stock with i/e. I drove it out to NJ and it handled it fine. the trip is about 1300 miles.

the car does burn oil, it has 177,5xx miles. Other than that i have never had a problem. it got 50mpg on the way out here.

I am wondering if anyone thinks it is a good idea to do it, or should i not. this is my daily driver and I can't really afford to do a swap im looking for. thanks

I dont see why not just check the oil when you gas up and make sure its not low. I would do it if it had a/c in it.

keep tabs on the oil, drive like a normal human being and you should be fine.
when my si was stock, it made 4 - 1100 mile trips in one summer. down and back from florida. youll be fine.
