>>I give up!
Assuming that's not meant as 'give in' - can you explain why diesels feel more & are more torquey to drive then - despite this stuff about gearing you bring up?
The simple fact is that despite (generally) higher overall gearing, diesels produce much more torque at the rear wheel than a petrol at similar revs - it's one of the characteristics
& no amount of gainsaying will make your petrol Focus the equivalent of a similarly endowed diesel of the similar bhp.
The gearing argument is misleading you I'm afraid to say!
