This does not seem to make the distinction between "town" and "city", so they may be the same. The question requires the distance through the town or city, and none is given. We only have what this someone did, not what they could do. All we have is 42 miles per hour for 21 miles. This gives a time of 21%2F42=1%2F2 hour. That is distance%2Fspeed=time using the same units from the description. The fuel efficiency 33 miles per gallon is unimportant in this question.
