I drove back home (norcal) from phx last year and a couple trips to tuscon and cali when I had a b16 in my hatch. I was on the cusp of vtec and in and out of vtec the whole way... as long as your motor is healthy you have nothing to worry about .

oh it's not that bad! it's nice having a 1.8 with a short tranny though. Never even have to take it out of 5th to pass :P

Honestly, my gas mileage isn't that bad on the freeway compared to the city, they are pretty close. Then again, I don't really go much past 75 or 80 on the highway so some people might have a problem with gas mileage if they can't keep their foot off the gas :P
