About 125 miles (give or take 20 miles depending where you are going in Sacramento)
The drive time depends a LOT on day of week and time of year.
For instance, on a Sunday afternoon in summer or during ski season it can easily take 4 or 5 hours or more. On a Tuesday morning in April - about 2 hours.
So when is this trip?

OK - this is confusing - it looks like you mean driving from Sacramento to Tahoe (instead fo Reno to Tahoe). So what is it you are really trying to do?
It does make a difference - North shore, south shore, day of week, time of day, etc. Give us details - it is really hard to give good advice w/ just a part of the picture . . . . .
(BTW - if the drive is from SMF to Tahoe on a Friday afternoon - all bets are off re the drive time. Just getting across to the east side of Sacramento county from SMF could easily be an hour)

Here's a suggestion:
www.mapquest.com
maps.yahoo.com
www.maps.google.com
Click on driving directions, then put in your starting location and your ending location. Click "get directions" and the directions, mileage, and estimated travel time will magically appear.
If you have further questions about which is the better route, best times to travel, road closures, etc., the good folks on this board can give you plenty of reliable information.
(Except Kal, of course. But he has some great one-liners.
)

Unfortunately, the drive times on most websites are next to useless for this route. SMF to Reno or Tahoe is extremely dependent on the day of the week, time of day, and month. For instance at 10:00 a.m. on a friday you might have clear sailing and by 2:00 p.m. it is bumper to bumper on the main routes through Sac/Placer/El Dorado counties.

OK - that helps - zephyr cove. Now, what day of the week are you arriving?
As ag3046 says - Reno is much, much closer than Sacramento. If you can get much lower fare - it might make sense to fly into SMF. But definitely not if you are arriving on a Friday afternoon or over a holiday.
