Am I using the correct method to set mFuelLevel?

FlightActivity.java 
import android.os.Bundle;

public class FlightActivity extends Activity {

  public int mFuelLevel = 0;

  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_flight);

    // Add your code below!
  Intent intent = getIntent();  
  int mFuelLevel = intent.getIntExtra(String "FUEL_LEVEL", int -1);
  }
}

The keyword int is only used when a variable is first declared. mFuelLevel is already declared as a member variable, so you don't start the line with int. You also don't use it when stating a literal number. It's only used for variables.

Ah Master Seth, you're a star. May the code be with you.
