The only difference is that Carlton, just like I do, take the horsepower as
equal to 750 W by rounding up. The power of cars is not that measurement
sensitive that it needs to be converted with the precize factors of 736 W
for the European animal and 745 W for the English speaking animal.

True, note the use of the qualifying word "about" in my original post. Somehow I don't think the auto manufacturers are all that precise anyway.
