To determine how many more miles per gallon Gabi can go if she uses gas from Good Gas, we need to compare the miles driven per gallon for both gas brands.
For Go Gas, the miles driven per gallon are:
170.5 miles / 5.5 gallons = 31 miles per gallon
316.2 miles / 10.2 gallons = 31 miles per gallon
372.0 miles / 12.0 gallons = 31 miles per gallon
449.5 miles / 14.5 gallons = 31 miles per gallon
For Good Gas, the miles driven per gallon are:
127.5 miles / 3.75 gallons = 34 miles per gallon
319.6 miles / 9.4 gallons = 34 miles per gallon
428.4 miles / 12.6 gallons = 34 miles per gallon
544.0 miles / 16.0 gallons = 34 miles per gallon
Therefore, Gabi can go 34 - 31 = 3 more miles per gallon if she uses gas from Good Gas for her car.
Use the tables to answer the question.

5.5 170.5
10.2 316.2
