Answer:

On average the gas mileage in the city was about 4 mpg less than that on the highway.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both distributions are approximately symmetrical and have similar ranges they have about the same variability. When comparing medians of 28 mpg for the city and 32 from the highway the highway on average was about 4 mpg better than the city.
