The compiler can be a great aid at figuring things like this out.

Try the following 

test.c

double f(double x)
{
return x+2.54*x;
}

Compile it with the following command line

gcc -S -o - test.c

Now look at what is displayed on screen.  You should see references to

fstp %st(0)
fmulp %st,%st(1)

HTH
