Any pump works — just select the grade you want on the screen. Regular is the one on the left, usually the green handle. Are you paying cash or card?

You can pay at the pump — just insert or tap your card, then select your fuel grade and start pumping. If your foreign card doesn't work at the pump, come inside and I can run it here.

There's a rest area about 30 miles up on I-95. It has restrooms, a picnic area, and vending machines. Or if you want food, there's a travel plaza with fast food about 45 miles out.

You're close. Stay on this road for about 10 miles, then take Exit 23 and follow signs for Route 1 South — that's the scenic coastal highway. It's a beautiful drive, but it'll add about an hour compared to the interstate.

You're on Miller Road, just past the old church. Where are you trying to get to?

Ah yeah, that's a common mistake. Turn around and go back to the intersection — take a right onto Highway 50. Stay on that for about 20 miles and you'll see signs for the lake.

That's the overheating light — you should pull over and let the engine cool down for a bit. Don't open the hood while it's hot. There's a gas station with a small auto shop about 3 miles down that way.

No problem at all. Good luck with the car, and enjoy Lake Tahoe when you get there!
