I got B & C as your answers
Original: 304m per 19/2 Gallons = 2888 (19/2 * 304)

A - 187 miles on 17/2 gallons (17/2 * 187) = 1589.50
B - 357 miles on 21/2 gallons (21/2 * 357) = 3748.50
C - 216 miles on 27/2 gallons (27/2 * 216) = 2916
D - 209 miles on 11/2 gallons (11/2 * 209) = 1149.50
E - 115 miles on 5/2 gallons (5/2 * 115) -= 287.50
