To determine how many gallons of fuel Connor needs, we can use the formula:
\[
\text{Gallons needed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Miles per gallon (mpg)}}
\]
In this case, the distance is 168 miles and the fuel efficiency is 28 mpg. Plugging in the values:
\[
\text{Gallons needed} = \frac{168 \text{ miles}}{28 \text{ mpg}} = 6 \text{ gallons}
\]
Therefore, Connor needs **6 gallons** of fuel to get to the University.
\[
