#"mpg"=32.89#

First you need to convert kilometres to miles, and litres to gallons.

1 km #~~# 0.621371 miles.

#97.5color(white)(8) "km"=97.5xx0.621371=60.58color(white)(8) "miles"# ( 2 .d.p )

#1color(white)(8)"litre"~~0.264172color(white)(8)"US gallons"#

#7.01color(white)(8)"litres"=7.01xx0.264172=1.85color(white)(8)"gallons"#

Miles per gallon is:

#"mpg"="miles"/"gallons"#

#"mpg"=60.85/1.85=32.89# ( 2 .d.p. )
