My graphing calculator computes the best match to a cubic function, which predicts mileage of about 39.7 mpg at 65 mph.
The second-best match is to a quadratic function, which predicts mileage of 29.8 mpg at 65 mph.
Linear regression predicts mileage of about 36.6 mpg at 65 mph.
It appears the best choice of those offered is (D) about 36 mpg.
