For comparison, I thought you might enjoy some specs on the
engine in one of the airplanes I fly.

	360 cubic inches
	four (!) cylinders
	two spark plugs per cylinder
	fuel injection
	air-cooled
	200 HP at 2700 (!) RPM at sea level, 18 gallons/hour

In the old old days of cars, FIAT, I think, built a car to break the 
speed record.  This car, known as the "Beast of Turin" had a 4 cylinder
engine of 28 LITERS.
