    I think there are a couple of typos in Doug's informative list of
    formulas.

    > w = pld displacement
    should be w = old displacement

    > Fuel Consumption
    >
    > by displacement
    > log C = (log c + 2/3 log W)- 2/3 log c
    should be log C = (log c + 2/3 log W)- 2/3 log w
    > by speed
    > C =(c x S cubed)/s cubed
