Your fuel-stop mile markers
- Fuel stop 1mile 358
- Fuel stop 2mile 717
- Fuel stop 3mile 1,075
Plan your actual stops a few miles before each marker — exit availability beats precision.
Range math assumes steady highway MPG and a flat buffer. Real trips vary with headwind, elevation, AC load, and cargo — keep the 20% reserve, especially in remote stretches where the next station could be 100+ miles away.
