Units (was Re: L/KM to MPG conversion formula)

[Doug Yoder]

Heh.  I found a unit it doesn't know (at least, by that name).  Huw's
engine code chart lists power in HP SAE, kW, and PS DIN.  A PS DIN is a
metric horsepower (PS = Pferdestärke).

Oh, darn.  Google calls it "metric horsepower".  After I spent all that
time figuring it out, heh.
