>>As I've said before, the torque which matters is the torque at the driving wheels
...which is why most diesel powered cars in real world driving conditions feel more powerful
(unless you include V8 exotica etc.)
You have mentioned this several times L'Es, and each time you seem hamstrung by the 'theory' rather than practice.
What you're implying is that the better in-gear & general driveability of (most) diesels is somehow an illusion & that you're revealing this as some sort of myth by insisting that gearing dilutes any advantage.
If that's so then many thousands of drivers (and road testers & motoring journalists etc.) have been deceived over the years & diesels aren't really more torquey at all - what deluded fools we've all been!
