Not the fastest way to get to San Diego, and not the smoothest either, with long stretches of mostly nothing between gas stations.
I should add - you might want to see Palo Duro Canyon before leaving Texas. If you go that way, then you could opt for I-40 west rather than US380

We’ll keep that in mind. We’ve driven IH 10 before, with looonnngggg stretches of emptiness and lack of gas stations. One has to plan accordingly!
My son and his family were caught in a blizzard along that desolate route a few years back. Hway 10 actually had a long line of cars in a several-hour standstill! But everyone shared water, food, and blankets until the snow stopped and roads became passable again.
That gives new meaning to planning ahead!!!
