If a car can travel 20 miles using 1 gallon of gas, we can calculate how many miles it can travel using more gallons of gas by simply multiplying the miles per gallon by the number of gallons.

1 gallon = 20 miles
2 gallons = 20 miles/gallon * 2 gallons = 40 miles

Now, let's fill in the provided table based on the relationship we have established.

| Number of gallons of gas (g) | Number of miles traveled (m) | Miles per gallon (m/g) |
|-------------------------------|-------------------------------|-------------------------|
| 2 | 40 | 20 |
| 4 | 80 | 20 |
| 6 | 120 | 20 |
| 8 | 160 | 20 |

So, using this pattern, we see that for every gallon of gas, the car travels 20 miles. Therefore, for 2 gallons, it travels 40 miles, for 4 gallons, it travels 80 miles, and so forth. The miles per gallon remains consistent at 20 throughout the table.
