NOTES,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
"The heat equivalent factors used in joule conversions are: diesel = 38,657,950 joules/liter; electric = 3,600,000 joules/kWh, negating electrical system loses (to include electrical system loses, multiply this conversion factor by approximately three); gasoline = 34,839,537 joules/liter. ",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
1.609344 kilometers = 1 mile.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
3.785412 liters = 1 gallon.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
