Los Angeles to Las Vegas is 270 miles, about 4 hours of driving by the routing estimate, so a typical car that leaves with a full tank gets there without stopping for gas, with about 36% left. A truck towing a trailer, at about 253 miles a tank, can't do it on one: plan one stop, at Baker, CA (177 miles in).
Making it without a stop takes at least 79% of a tank at the start, to keep the 15% reserve; with less, the most stations on the way are in Victorville, CA (34, 81 miles in). The longest stretch without a station within 2 miles of the road is 28 miles, from 12 miles past Yermo, CA to 12 miles before Baker, CA. I-15 carries most of the route.

Truck towing a trailer
11 mpg, 23-gallon tank: about 253 miles on a full tank.
| Stop | Station | From start | Tank on arrival |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | ValeroBaker, CA | 177 mi | 30% |
Arrive in Las Vegas with about 63% of the tank.
Both plans leave Los Angeles with a full tank, keep 15% in reserve, fill up completely at each stop and prefer stations in or near towns, as Fillerup does by default. Stops are chosen from stations within 2 miles of the route.
Driving back: Las Vegas to Los Angeles
The drive back from Las Vegas to Los Angeles is 271 miles, 1 mile longer than the way there, and its longest stretch without a station within 2 miles is the same 28 miles, between 12 miles past Baker, CA and 12 miles before Yermo, CA. A typical car needs no stop this way either. The truck's stop falls in another place, because the plan starts with a full tank in Las Vegas:
Truck towing a trailer
| Stop | Station | From start | Tank on arrival |

No stretch goes 45 miles or more without a station within 2 miles. A station missing from OpenStreetMap would make a stretch look longer than it is, and a mapped station may have closed, so treat these as a guide.

How this page was made
- Route: from the centre of Los Angeles to the centre of Las Vegas and back, each direction routed on its own, by Geoapify routing (fetched November 12, 2026). Fillerup asks for the route again when you open the trip, so its numbers can differ a little.
- Stations: every usable fuel station in OpenStreetMap within 2 miles of the route (private, disused and truck-only ones left out), from Fillerup’s station data as of November 11, 2026.
- Stops: Fillerup’s own planner, with the two vehicles above, each way from a full tank. Its picks favour stations in towns over isolated pumps, so a stop can come earlier than the tank strictly needs.
- The Los Angeles and Las Vegas areas: within 47 miles of Los Angeles and 44 miles of Las Vegas, the distance within which Fillerup’s route selection counts a city as part of the metro (it grows with the metro’s population), leaving out places nearer another metro’s centre or across a border.
- Not covered: fuel prices, opening hours beyond the 24/7 tag, road conditions, closures and detours.
