	I was guessing at an upper limit.  My real guess is more like
	20 watts than 200.

	It'll be a v**3 situation.  

	Just remember, there are some advantages to warm fuel (grin).


Yes folks, those vwdiesels go SO fast that we fuel them will jelly jet fuel,
and let the fuel keep the wings cool.  Is that why some of them are called
Jettas?  Do they leak when they cool down?  Can anyone survive a coasting
ejection at 5000 RPM, and 15" absolute MAP?  There really a Wolfsburg?
