    21 mpg

    Explanation:

    So the distance in miles that his car could cover within gas fill up is the difference in odometer reading

    d = 54008 - 53762 = 246 miles

    So if it takes 11.8 gallons of gas to cover 246 miles then his mile per gallon can be calculated as

    246 / 11.8 = 20.85 mpg
