This isn't NASCAR, and you're not Smokey Yunick...if it makes you feel better, pretend it's 1.549 rounded to 1.5 for print.

many rally rules use a 1.7 for petrol and 1.5 for diesel forced induction....
If someone with blown Rabbit Diesel starts showing up regularly and complains about being spanked by turbo Miatas, we'll revisit.

...in addition a .8 multiplier for Pushrod engines. (so the big v6 GM/ford cars can be under 3 litre) also a 1.5 is used for a rotary so a turbo rotary motor would be. 1.3x1.5x1.7 = 3.3 litre. much more reasonable set of groupings.
Someone take away Jeff's calculator....
