Miles driven per gallon = 170.5 + 316.2 + 372.0 + 449.5 / 5.5 + 10.2 + 12.0 + 14.5
Miles driven per gallon for Go Gas = Are you sure you entered the correct values for the Go Gas table?
For Good Gas:
Miles driven per gallon = total miles driven / total gallons of gas
Miles driven per gallon = 127.5 + 319.6 + 428.4 + 544.0 / 3.75 + 9.4 + 12.6 + 16.0
