by graphical means you could have several combos

 

6000 gal         12 000          24 000

 

# cars (=28)

2                      6                   20           cars     = 564000 gal

4                      3                   21                       = 564000

6                      0                   22                       = 564000

0                      9                   19                       = 564000
