Can yall please help. I don't think I'm understanding this question correctly.

At 525 mi/hr fuel consumption is 2200 gal/hr; at 475 mi/hr it is 2000 gal/hr. How many gallons would slowing save during a 5000 km trip?

I am getting -70 gallons saved from slowing. I converted the speeds to km/hr then 5000 divided by the new speed then multiplied it by the number of gallons it consumes. Doing that and subtracting the first from the second, I get -70 gallons. I think that's wrong.
