Just crunched mine from my SWA app...turns out it is 1.65 (I did not throw in any .3 factor for this calculation). Gut feel is mine might be a little higher than most.
Did my best to lower it these past couple of weeks: We're in a BFM phase, yeah baby (and ouch, bring on the Ibuprofen for this old man).
