What was the situation after 12 events in 2006?

2006 2007
=================================
Engines used 162 146
Total km. 126,211 106,432 [1]
Average km. 779 730 [1]
Enforced changes 24 5
"Free" changes 22 8

1. The reason for the reduction in distance covered is because Friday
is no longer counted as part of the two events for each engine. Teams
now use different engines on Friday and swap to the "race" engines
for Saturday and Sunday.
