gas stations on I-80 in neveda

Does anyone have a good resource tool to locate and find gas stations along the desert stretch of I-80 from Reno to Wells. then from Wells Nv to Idaho Falls.
my rig gets about 8 mpg and this would be the first time we travel far from home. i would like to know of a website that can tell me distances between gas stations on this stretch of roads. my concern is i pass a gas station and not make it to the next available one and run out of fuel

any help would be greatly appreciated.
  • I've driven those roads dozens of times in a class "C" that got 7.7 mpg and had a 36 gallon tank. Even though I should have been able to go over 240 miles, I made it a habit to fill up at 200 miles. I never worried about getting gas, and I hope you don't either.

    Interstate Route 80 across Nevada has fueling stations at least every 60 miles if not closer. Drive on the top half of your tank and fill up before driving to far into the night. You should have no issues.
  • How big of gas tank do you have?
    Easy in & out at the Loves exit 48 also a Pilot but in & out is difficult, exit 106 Lovelock ( I would pass up Lovelock and get lower price in Winnemucca, big truck stop west of there might be at exit 168 or 173, Battle Mtn exit 229 or 230 then Elko exit 298, and Wells exit 352. On 93N from Wells to Jackpot is only 68 mi if you need more gas before getting into Idaho. Twin Falls, then there to Idaho Falls there are plenty of gas stops. Hope this helps. Dick

    Gas prices are lower in Fernley then Reno, usually lowest in Winnemucca, if we are going East on I-80 I wait to fill up at Winnemucca, Gas Buddy today shows $2.03 lowest in Winnemucca. I use Gas Buddy a lot to plan trip gas stops.
  • There are plenty of cities along these routes.. not sure why this would be a problem.

    This post will likely be moved to Roads and Routes.
