Paul, this is a comparison of your HTML table with a Wiki table. Some Citizens may prefer the Wiki table.

Also, most engineers (if not all) would not use the term "Combustion enthapies". They would use either "Heating value" or "Calorific value" and they would make sure to state whether the values are "gross or net" ... (or "higher" or "lower"). The "gross" ("higher") value is when the water in the combustion product gases is in the liquid state and the "net" ("lower") value is when the water in the combustion product gases is in the vapor state. Thus, Net (Lower) value = Gross (Higher) value - heat of condensation of water. Personally, I prefer the terminology "Higher heating value" and "Lower heating value" ... or "Higher caloric value" and "Lower caloric value".
