To calculate the vehicle’s consumption rate in miles per gallon, you can use the formula:
\[ \text{Miles per gallon} = \frac{\text{Total miles driven}}{\text{Total gallons used}} \]
Given that the driver drove 90 miles and used 4 gallons of gasoline, you can plug in these values:
\[ \text{Miles per gallon} = \frac{90 \text{ miles}}{4 \text{ gallons}} = 22.5 \text{ miles per gallon} \]
Therefore, the consumption rate is 22.5 miles per gallon.
