Arizona → California · Interstate 10
Outside sales reps regularly slot the Phoenix, Arizona, → San Diego, California, leg into the weekly visit calendar precisely because the 567 km (352 miles) along Interstate 10 fit inside 5h 24m of continuous driving and still leave room for a full client meeting before the homeward trip. Pulling out of Phoenix — the fifth-largest US city and capital of Arizona — the route crosses light industrial zones, then farmland, before opening into San Diego, the southern California port city on the Mexican border. The budget line item calls for 51.5 liters (13.6 gallons) of regular unleaded (about $47.38 at the national average benchmark of 0.92 USD/liter), plus discretionary tolls billed per axle. Reimbursement math, against the IRS standard mileage rate (2025) schedule of $0.43/km, returns $243.81 to the contributor at week-end.
