vehicles equipped with a high horsepower motor use more fuel than most motors. What does the federal governments impose on these vehicles?

Other than the regular taxes on gasoline, the U.S. government doesn't impose additional penalties.

The penalty seems self-imposed -- the higher gas prices go, the more the owners of such vehicles will pay for fuel and taxes.

I have friends in California who drive only SUVs, one of which is a Hummer -- and they were stunned last summer and fall to realize that it cost about $100 to fill up just one of their cars one time!

They seem to be paying a self-imposed penalty!!

=)

are the lines in art supose to be strait

Help me pls.. T^T

The federal government does not specifically impose penalties on vehicles equipped with high horsepower motors for using more fuel. However, there are indirect implications for owners of these vehicles due to higher fuel prices.

The price of gasoline is influenced by factors such as supply and demand, taxes, and fluctuations in global oil prices. As vehicles with high horsepower motors tend to consume more fuel, the owners of these vehicles will naturally spend more on fuel costs compared to vehicles with lower horsepower motors.

In the example you mentioned with your friends in California, they were surprised by the high cost of filling up their SUVs and the Hummer due to their higher fuel consumption. This can be seen as a self-imposed penalty because they chose to drive vehicles that require more fuel and therefore incur higher expenses.

So, while there are no specific penalties imposed by the federal government for vehicles with high horsepower motors, their owners may incur greater fuel costs as a result of their vehicle choice.

can you divide and multiply at the same time
