Puzzle 58

During a recent trip to Scotland, I filled my car's 10 gallon fuel tank to the very top.

I travelled at 60 mph up the motorway, and I knew that I averaged exactly 40 miles per gallon.

However, the moment I started, my fuel tank developed a leak, and four hours later I came to a complete stop as I'd run out of fuel!

How much fuel did I lose through the leak?

Alex's Dogsall logic puzzles

Alex is a keen dog admirer and over the years has had a number of dogs.

Alex has had an Alsatian, a Dalmatian, a Poodle, and a Great Dane, but not necessarily in that order.

Alex had Jamie first. The Dalmatian was an adored pet before the Great Dane. Sammy, the Alsatian, was the second dog Alex loved. Whitney was owned before the Poodle. Jimmy was not a Great Dane.
Can you match the dogs to their names and find the order in which Alex had them?
