.
The car travels 108 km in one hour.
.
Amount of fuel used for 108 km:
108km/(18km/l)=6liters
.
At 108 km/hr the car travels 108 km and uses 6 liters of fuel
.
(6liters/hr)(1hr/60min)=0.1_liter/minute
.
(0.1 liter/minute)($1.62/liter)=$0.162/minute
ANSWER: At 108km/hr the car burns $0.162 of fuel per minute.
