I know you're not being "quite serious" in this thread,

I never take myself too seriously, Tom; there are more important
things to take seriously, such as what is for dinner, and which winea
shall I serve with it.

but even so--why not get the unit correct.
That is, whether you lose a watt has nothing
to do with how far or long you ride.

Mea culpa. In future I shall report all units correctly as gear
inches.

The NY Times was equally sloppy with units today:
"Even so, they said, the covered vessel was probably
moving no more than 3 to 4 knots an hour, meaning it
was still days from its presumed destination."http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/11/world/africa/11pirates.html

Poor grammar, horrid syntax, a smartarse refusal to use the common
vernacular which is familiar to all readers, but what do you expect
from journos? They don't know gear inches from their ischial
tuberosities.
