Best route from Biggs Junction to Coos Bay

Depends on which roads you prefer. I-84 to Portland, I-205, then I-5 would be the freeway route. Avoids most of the messy bits of Portland, but 205 is very busy as is 84 coming in from Troutdale. Troutdale is the gas place.
Or, head from Biggs to Redmond. That road is very good, though mostly 2-lane. US 20 to Eugene is a good road also, but obviously twistier through the Cascades. Madras is a good gas place on this route.

Would be afraid the Biggs to Redmond would add too much time. Highway 97 is our normal route between Post Falls and trip to california...The Biggs Junction to Coos Bay is probably close to 9 hours and is a bit farther that I like to go in a day but it is what it is...

126 from Eugene is a good route but don't go through downtown. Take the 569 Beltline. BTW Diesel at Freddies on the north side of Florence is $2.99, use the inside lane furthest from 101. Plus points for future fuel discounts.

I have the 8.1 but will check that out for gas...

Thanks

Looks like 569 Beltline circles from I-5 to 126/11th ave.
