We drive from our home in Eugene, Oregon to visit family in Southern California.
Here is our list of Costco stores along Interstate 5 to stop by to buy gasoline.
(Our car is a 2011 Hyundai Elanta Touring that gets 32 to 36 miles per gallon on the freeway, depending upon our speed and use of air conditioning.)
A big thanks to Google Maps for the map images. I used GIMP to add the blue lines (color #2980b9, width 20, layer opacity 30%).
