ears or ear

Which is correct?
“What is the mileage on your car?” and “What is the gas mileage on your car? ” mean completely different thing to my ear/ears

Thanks

My ear more often hears: What kind of mileage do you get on your car? " - might be interpreted to mean how many miles do you have on your car, but I wouldn't ask it that way.
