Well, the obvious answer is that the more a vehicle weighs, the more fuel it consumes simply because it takes longer to travel from one place to another. If you place the values accordingly in a scatter plot and line up the highest numbers with the highest amount of fuel consumption you'll see the relation. The rest you can figure out, I think your smart enough.
