    Answer: you will need 10.57 liters of gas.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The gas efficiency of your car is 30.0mi/gal. The first step is to convert from miles per gallon to kilometers per liter.

    0.6214 miles = 1 kilometer

    30 miles = 30/0.6214 = 48.28 kilometers

    Also,

    1 gallon = 3.78 liters

    Therefore, the car's gas efficiency in kilometers per liter is

    48.28/3.78 = 12.77 kilometers per liter

    Therefore, the number of liters of gas that you will need to complete a 135 km trip is

    135/12.77 = 10.57 liters
