    Answer: you will need 22.98 liters of gas to complete a 313 km trip.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Suppose your cars gas efficiency is 32.0mi/gal, we would need to convert from miles per gallon to kilometers per liter.

    From the information given,

    0.6214 miles = 1 kilometer

    Therefore,

    32 miles = 32/0.6214 = 51.4966 kilometers

    Meanwhile,

    1 gallon = 3.78 liters

    Therefore, the gas efficiency of the car in kilometers per liter would be

    51.4966/3.78 = 13.62 kilometers per liter

    Therefore, the number of liters of gas that you will need to complete a 313 km trip is

    313/13.62 = 22.98 liters
