Do the calcs first Artillo.  They say a little more than one horsepower,
then make the absurd claim of 70 mph for 120 miles.  I can *guarantee you*
those numbers are wrong.  Perhaps they dropped a decimal point twice: I
would believe a top speed of 7 miles per hour for 12 miles.  

Whenever one looks at the alternative means of hauling apes, one always
comes away with a new respect for good old gasoline.
