that seems to make sense....
makes absolutely no sense at all
you can generalise with a percentage not a fixed figure!!!
using the losses from a 330hp escort on a sub 100hp 4*4 would be clever - how the fuck can it have minus bhp at the wheels
the losses are heat, the more the bhp, the more the heat, the more the loss
