I know they tend to use bhp in Europe, do the American figures for hp typically use total hp or bhp?

US numbers usually are SAE NET

My '73 Nova had a downgrade in rated HP from 285 to 185 mostly because of going to SAE Net over "gross" HP.  Ten of that is due to the added AIR pump.  The rest was just a change in ratings mandated by the guvmint.   The old ratings were engines on a test stand with no accessories and no exhaust.

There is a new rating which is even more precise GM uses, but the difference is minimal.

I've noted before that the GTI's small 2.0 L is rated at 220 hp, but of course it's boosted.

self-service

in 1980 when the price spiked to $1.17/gallon

I was an attendant.
I would unlock the pump for use and then see that they went inside to pay for the fuel
We obviously also had full-service pumps for a few pennies more per gallon

If you check inflation adjusted prices, the midline is about $3.50 a gallon in current prices.

Welp, this is now in our garage.  But my daughter doesn't turn 16 until late September so I guess I'll have to keep it warm for her...
