At the beginning of a trip, the mileage odometer read 5620056200 miles. During the trip, the driver filled his tank again with 1212 gallons of gasoline when the odometer read 5656056560. At the end of the trip, the driver filled the tank again with 2020 gallons of gasoline. The odometer read 5706057060. To the nearest tenth, what was the car's average miles-per-gallon for the entire trip? (Note: The first fill-up of 66 gallons was to start the trip full).
