It somehow seemed logical to separate tax horsepower from real horsepower. In case this is retained, the RAC formula perhaps should be moved here. -- Egil 23:38 Apr 24, 2003 (UTC)

A concept called "Fiscal horsepower" still exists in Belgium, and presumably a number of other countries. I'm not sure it is based on cylinder dimensions, but I think it is: it's why cars often have e.g. 1.993 l engines instead of 2.0 l. -- rschroev 14:23 Jun 4, 2003 (UTC)

The CV in 2CV stands for 'cheval vapeur', the french for horse power. Minor detail. Steve
