    The brother is likely wrong.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The range of the vehicle with a full tank is ...

    (13.5 gal/tank) (25 mi/gal) = 337.5 mi/tank

    You have 1/4 tank, so your range is ...

    (337.5 mi/tank) (1/4 tank) = 84.375 mi

    If you make the 85 mile distance, it will be because you achieved gas mileage better than average and/or your gas gauge gives you some cushion.

    Unit analysis says you do not have the necessary range.
