That's too bad because displacement alone has nothing to do with torque, and a gasoline/diesel comparison is actually excellent. Two engines with the same bore and stroke, one gasoline, with 9:1 compression, and the other a diesel, with 23:1 compression, have completely different horsepower and torque numbers. But I'm sure you already knew that.

Take care
