Two gallons of gasoline cost $6.

Complete the table with the missing volume of gasoline or missing price.

To solve this, we need to find the cost per gallon and use that to fill in the missing values.

1. First, calculate the price per gallon:
   \[
   \text{Price per gallon} = \frac{\text{Total Price}}{\text{Gallons}} = \frac{6}{2} = 3 \text{ dollars per gallon}
   \]

2. Use this rate to fill in the missing values:

   - For row $a$, where the price is $1$ dollar, we find the gallons:
     \[
     \text{Gallons} = \frac{1 \text{ dollar}}{3 \text{ dollars per gallon}} = \frac{1}{3} \approx 0.33 \text{ gallons}
     \]

   - For row $b$, where the gallons are $1$, we find the price:
     \[
     \text{Price} = 1 \text{ gallon} \times 3 \text{ dollars per gallon} = 3 \text{ dollars}
     \]

3. Final Table:

   | Gasoline (gallons) | Price (dollars) |
   |--------------------|-----------------|
   | 2                  | 6               |
   | 0.33               | 1               |
   | 1                  | 3               |
