Puzzle 13

I started a journey to my Aunt's yesterday with a full tank of gasoline, 10 gallons, but at that exact moment my gasoline tank sprang a leak.

I managed to drive 50 miles, in exactly one hour, before coming to a complete stop with an empty tank.

I know that the car manages 25 miles per gallon.

How quickly was I losing gasoline?
