However, cars registered before this date are taxed based on engine displacement. Cars under 1549 cm 3 qualify for a lower tax rate. [3] In Japan, the engine displacement is one of the factors (along with overall vehicle size and power output) used to determine the vehicle size class and therefore the cost of road tax for the vehicle.
The Mazda Z-series is a smaller gasoline inline-four engine ranging in displacements from 1.3 L to 1.6 L. They are the evolution of the cast-iron block B-engine.. The Z-engine has 16-valves operated by dual overhead camshafts, which are in turn driven by a timing chain (ZJ/Z6/ZY only).
The six cylinder Zephyr engine was used widely. Displacement was 2,262 cc (138.0 cu in) in early versions that had the same bore and stroke as the 1.5-litre 4 cylinder. It was produced with two available compression ratios: 6.8:1 in the Zephyr, with an output of 68 bhp (51 kW), and 7.5:1 in the top-of-range Zodiac, with an output of 71 bhp (53 kW).
[citation needed] The 122 was available in the U.S. beginning in 1982 for the GM J platform compact cars and S-series trucks. For the J-cars, it evolved through 2002 when it was replaced by GM's Ecotec line of DOHC 4-cylinder engines. In the S-10 related models, it evolved through 2003 and was known as the Vortec 2200.
They were later also used in some rear wheel drive cars like the Jeep Wrangler. The engines were produced in two major variants differing by their piston displacement: a 3.3 L; 201.4 cu in (3,301 cc) and a 3.8 L; 230.5 cu in (3,778 cc). The 3.3 was dropped after 2010 with the Chrysler minivans, and the 3.8 was dropped after 2011 with the Jeep ...

This is the first eight-cylinder road car engine to use Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI), which was successfully developed by Audi in their Le Mans-winning R8 racing car. The 5.2 V10 FSI was developed directly from this V8 engine. [16] [17] [18] identification parts code prefix/variant: 079.D displacement & configuration
Prior to 1964, tires were all made to a 90% aspect ratio. Tire size was specified as the tire width in inches and the diameter in inches – for example, 6.50-15. [24] From 1965 to the early 1970s, tires were made to an 80% aspect ratio. Tire size was again specified by width in inches and diameter in inches.
