How do you set the mFuelLevel to the value from the Intent?

I visited the site given, but I'm still confused about how to set the mFuelLevel to the value from the Intent. Help!

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();
  }
}

You can set mFuelLevel by calling the getIntExtra() method on intent. The method takes two arguments. The first is the key, which is given in the challenge, and the second a default value.
