What's  the average resistance per foot of ignition wire? 1.5k/ft?

Okay - it is pouring rain here tonight, in San Jose. So I hung out in the  
shop and measured wire for you all..
 
Hear is a list of wires and their ohms per foot.
 
NOS GM Packard wire as used on  Corvair         6000 Ohms per  foot
Carol Brand 7mm Carbon  wire                          5600  Ohms per foot
Clarks 7mm Mag  wire                                        635  Ohms per foot
My 7mm Magnetic  Suppression wire                   475  Ohms per foot
Taylor Spiro-Pro wire  (My standard 8mm wire)  265 Ohms per foot
Taylor 8.2 mm  Thundervolt   wire                         216  Ohms per foot
 
 
There is also a Taylor 10.5mm wire that is advertised as 50 Ohms per  foot -  
   

 
All of the low ohm wires use a Magnetic suppression system to retain radio  
compatibility
