New Mexico → Arizona · Interstate 25 / Interstate 40
Before turning the key for Phoenix, Arizona, out of Albuquerque, New Mexico, run through the pre-trip checklist: registration card in the glovebox, current insurance card on your phone, working SunPass or E-ZPass transponder for the electronic toll plazas along Interstate 25 / Interstate 40, and a printed backup of the destination address in case GPS reception drops. The locked itinerary measures 626 km (389 miles) with an optimistic estimate of 5h 58m if cruise control sits steadily within the posted limit. Pulling out of Albuquerque, the largest city in New Mexico and crossroads of the American Southwest, the road eventually delivers you to Phoenix, the fifth-largest US city and capital of Arizona. Schedule departure outside the morning rush window and pack a thermos of coffee to skip an unscheduled stop in the first hundred miles. Budget around $52.35 just for the pump (56.9 liters / 15.0 gallons of regular unleaded) plus headroom for tolls. Outbound reimbursement at $0.43/km equals $269.18 cleared to the driver.
