To find out how many miles per gallon the car gets, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Miles per gallon (MPG)} = \frac{\text{Total miles driven}}{\text{Total gallons used}}
\]
In this case, the total miles driven is 275.1 miles and the total gallons used is 13.1 gallons. Plugging in the values:
\[
\text{MPG} = \frac{275.1 \text{ miles}}{13.1 \text{ gallons}} \approx 21.0 \text{ miles per gallon}
\]
Therefore, the car gets approximately **21.0 miles per gallon**.
