Ford's Fiesta ST of the mid-2010s, for instance, was rated at 180 hp (182 PS) in Europe but 197 hp (200 PS) in the US, despite the cars having essentially the same engine.

Because in normal street driving you're probably only using 30 hp (31 PS) most of the time anyway, which just illustrates how silly the whole power war is.
