Solution

The correct option is C 170.6311340$ miles per year is the average motor vehicle driven.
The average fuel economy is 21.4 miles per gallon, so gallons used per vehicle per year turn out to be 1134021.4=529.90
The average American household owns 1.75 vehicles and so the gallons used per household per year become 529.90×1.75=927.325
Since the gasoline tax is 18.4 cents per gallon, the total tax paid becomes 927.325×18.4=17062.78 cents = 170.63$
