In Sept should be no problem. Eugene is about two hours south on I5 from Portland, so to save time and miles at Ontario,OR take US20 to Bend, and on to I5 at Salem. From there its about an hour to Eugene. Or as an alternative take 97 south and take 58 west. That will drop you just south of Eugene.
x2. I-84 can be a zoo in Portland. Plus the winds out on I-84 near the Gorge can make you towing very interesting. There's a reason you see loads of people windsurfing on the river.
Another alternative is to take 84 to Ontario, then 20 to Vale (26) and take 26 to Prineville, then take 126 out of Prineville to Sisters and then 126 towards Eugene. That takes you the the east side of Eugene.
The drive from Salem to Eugene is about as boring as it gets. Same with 84 to Portland.
