Answer:

Car M:

50.4/2 = 25.2

car M uses up 1 gallon every 25.2 miles

Car P:

Just from the graph, you can see that it uses up 1 gallon every 30 miles

The two graphs vary the /miles slightly but it is around their zones of 25.2 and 30. It varies slightly because the cars may be traveling at a fast speed or slower speed thus using up more or less fuel by the time they've reached the recorded distances on the graphs.
