Orlando and Milwaukee were the ones that came to mind for me.
Going down the list, it's Orlando.
Metro areas with populations > 1M without I-x0 or I-x5s:
22 Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford, FL MSA 2,673,376
35 San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA MSA 2,000,468
37 Virginia Beach-Norfolk-Newport News, VA-NC MSA 1,799,674
40 Milwaukee-Waukesha, WI MSA 1,574,731
48 Hartford-East Hartford-Middletown, CT MSA 1,213,531 (the CSA has I-95)
52 Grand Rapids-Kentwood, MI MSA 1,087,592
54 Urban Honolulu, HI MSA 1,016,508
55 Tulsa, OK MSA 1,015,331
56 Fresno, CA MSA 1,008,654
San Jose has three x0 3di highways

Tulsa itself, kind of a stretch. Tulsa MSA, since they're including Okmulgee County in it, apparently so.

I-5 definitely does not directly serve the Fresno Area. I would argue I-95 and I-75 more indirectly serve Orlando than I-5 does Fresno.

I'd say including that part of Okmulgee County is kind of a stretch. I think Henryetta's existence is tied more to I-40 than it is to Tulsa. Other places further north in Okmulgee County make more sense to be included as part of the Tulsa MSA.
Pittsburgh could have either 0, 1 or 2 x0s, depending on who you ask.
I had Pittsburgh in my original list, but when you look at a map, I-70 clearly goes through the metro area.

I-70 arguably does, I-80 obviously does not.
Honolulu, Hi is one of them.
All of their interstates are H1, H2, H3 designation.
Boise, ID because its main interstate is I-84.
Montpelier, VT is another one where I-89 is the major route in the area.

Charleston, WV has I-64, I-77, and I-79

On a side note, what would be the smallest with both a x0 and x5?
Cove Fort, maybe?

The site has no permanent population, so that's arguably it.
Cities with under 20K:
Buffalo, WY (25/90; under 5K population)

It's like the actual I-90, since there is no interstate 50 or 60.

Not sure but Wyoming is included as a principal city in the GR metro area.
Tulsa and Fresno are good examples of how the definition of core-based statistical area (by using only county or county-equivalent lines) is flawed. But those are nowhere near those of Denver-Aurora-Lakewood (which extends all the way to just outside Limon) or Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario (which includes far flung communities like Needles or Blythe, which in no way can be considered part of the Inland Empire). The latter could be better defined by using the boundaries of NWS San Diego's county warning area, which includes the truly urban parts of San Bernardino and Riverside counties.

If we are talking populated places, how about LaPlace Louisiana for I 10 and I 55. Or Lake City Florida for I 10 and I 75.
Some other cities without an x5 or x0...
Wait. Question. Is it cities without either or without one of the two?

Exactly, I-5 hits Fresno County but doesn't touch any major communities much less has a sphere of influence on traffic to the City of Fresno. Most people who use I-5 out of Fresno aren't even going hit it until Wheeler Ridge or Sacramento.

I-94 is not technically an x0, but it functions like one.
Then you have I-45 that doesn't act like it should an is an intrastate serving two major Texas Metro Areas.
If we're deciding which non-x0s and x5s function like one now, here's my list...
Pseudo x0s: I-94, I-64, I-84
Pseudo x5s: I-29/49, I-77, I-81, Future I-69
Not-so fun fact: A completed I-69, including I-69E into its length, would be longer than all x5s except I-75 and I-95, and it's pretty close behind I-75's length. If you include all 3 branches, it may surpass I-95's length too.

I might add western I-84 to your pseudo x0s list.

I might offer up I-44 as well? I tend to think of I-44 as fill-in I-50, I-64 as fill-in I-60 (maybe it would have even been numbered such if not for US 60), and I-94 as fill-in I-100 (similar to US 101). And the western I-84, per its original numbering, really does serve as an I-80 corridor branch towards Oregon & Washington.

How does it "function" like one? I-x0 and I-x5 function just like any other interstate. The number just carries on longer.

Added western I-84 in. Makes sense as a sort-of x0, as it used to be I-80N, and in my fictional planes, I thought it was important enough to carry the I-80 mainline west of SLC.
I-44, maybe, though it's shorter than the others by comparison, and imo I see it more taking a role like I-71 or eastern I-76, than a x0.

Yeah good point I didn't think of I-45 being so short when I saw this. I-94 indeed functions as a long haul route.
Hell, I-94 has more tenacity than most x0's, surviving its detour around Lake Michigan without being deemed a different designation once it turns from southeast to northeast (or SW to NW).
It is interesting that the consensus is that highways such as I-64, I-69, I-81, and I-94 are essentially equivalent to I-x0 and I-x5 routes (Pseudo x0s and Pseudo x5s). Strong points have been made to support these beliefs.
I believe a lot of these weird numberings were a result of rules prohibiting the same Interstate and US numbers existing in the same state. For example, because Kentucky has US 60, there never could be an I-60 route in that state. Well that is all out the window with the I-41/US 41 and I-74/US 74 concurrencies.
With that said, the AASHTO applications all start with this statement:
Quote
The U.S. Numbered System was established in 1926 and the Interstate Numbered System was established in 1956. Both have reached the period of review, revision, and consolidation. They now need perfecting rather than expansion.
Perhaps that statement should be taken seriously to address some questionable choices that really should be reviewed.

I-70 theoretically could've been I-60, if both it and US 60 didn't run cross-state in Missouri. It's pretty much the only state both routes have significant portions in, and even then, I-70 is way north of US 60, never meeting it. I-24 was allowed in IL since day one despite US 24, I don't see why not for "I-60" either.
