 Horsepower - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In scientific discourse the term "horsepower" is rarely used due to the various definitions and the existence of an SI unit for power, the watt (W).
Gross horsepower figures were also subject to considerable adjustment by carmakers: the power ratings of mass-market engines were often exaggerated, while those for the highest-performance muscle car engines were frequently underrated.
Since taxable horsepower was computed based on bore and number of cylinders, not based on actual displacement, it gave rise to engines with 'undersquare' dimensions, i.e., relatively narrow bore, but long stroke; this tended to impose an artificially low limit on rotational speed (rpm), hampering the true power output and efficiency of the engine.

 Carbon tax Summary
It is an example of a pollution tax, which has been proposed by economists as preferable because it taxes a "bad" rather than a "good" (such as income).
A carbon tax, because of the link with global warming, is often associated with some kind of internationally administered scheme; however, this is not intrinsic to the principle, and politically improbable.
The planned tax was scheduled to take effect from April 2007, and applied across most economic sectors but allowed a standing exemption for methane emissions from farming and provisions for special exemptions from carbon intensive businesses if they agree to adopt world's-best-practice standards of emissions.

 A BRIEF HISTORY OF BRITISH TRANSPORT POLICY
A third of the yield from private vehicles would be regarded as a tax on the ‘luxury’ component of car use and therefore be transferred to the Exchequer, a sum of £7 million in 1926.
Ironically these tax rises probably made governments more and more dependent on the revenues from road transport and therefore less likely to do anything radical to restrict the growth in traffic and protect the railway companies’ market share.
Accordingly petrol tax and car purchase tax were doubled, while at the same time motor manufacturers were ordered to export 60% of their production.

 Another Sin Tax
The astonishing horsepower and acceleration of cars such as the SL 65 (0-62 mph [100 km/h] in 4.2 seconds) may be alluring to the 500 or so extremely wealthy buyers who can afford the $180,000 price tag, but BMW insiders argue there's a point where sheer horsepower ceases to improve a car.
If auto makers were to propose taxing horsepower on a sliding scale starting moderately at about 225 hp, and getting painful after 300 hp, they might get the ear of environmentalists and legislators and elevate the fuel-economy debate to include torque (what consumers really want), power density and other substantive engineering issues.
A tax on horsepower also would advantage diesels and hybrids, which by their nature have more torque.

 Torque
Thus, a one horsepower work rate is equivalent to lifting 550 pounds one foot per second, or any other equivalent product such as 100 pounds 5.5 feet per second.
For rotary work using torque, the distance is around the circle; horsepower is torque times 2Pi times turns per second, divided by our 550 number (for rpm the divisor is 33,000).
If you have some horsepower, in a manner of speaking you might say, "Torque is cheap" (groan), just gear her down".
