    Answer: 26.25 miles per gallon

    Explanation: first odometer reading = 65290

    Second odometer reading = 65500

    Difference in odometer reading = second reading - first reading

    = 65500 - 65290 = 210 miles.

    If it took 8 gallons to fill his tank, it means

    8 gallons will get him 210 miles, therefore 1 gallon will get 210 miles/8gallons = 26.25miles/gallon. Hence he is getting 26.25miles/gallon.

    26.25 miles/gallon.

    Explanation:

    Initial distance, d1 = 65290 miles.

    Final distance, d2 = 65500

    Distance travelled = d2 - d1

    = 65500 - 65290

    = 210 miles

    Volume of Gasoline used for the distance = 8 gallons.

    = Distance/volume

    = 210/8

    = 26.25 miles/gallon.
