Solution

The correct option is B 1.5 miles
We can see that the point (1.5, D) represents the distance traveled by car with 1.5 gallons of fuel.
As per the given graph with 1.5 gallons of diesel, a car can run for 24 miles, whereas with 1.5 gallons of gasoline it can run 22.5 miles.
Differences in distances
= 24 - 22. 5 = 1.5 miles
