Well, L'Es, this is what you said & I read it very carefully:
As I've said before, the torque which matters is the torque at the driving wheels. Because a diesel has a higher gearing than a petrol the torque at the driving wheels is a lower proportion of the engine output torque than it is with a petrol.
Which matters not a jot because it's still (even with higher gearing) greater than comparable
petrol engines. It's entirely a moot point - TD engines major in torque & it's that characteristic
you feel when driving them - i.e. excellent in gear acceleration from lowish rpm.
So what is the point you're trying to make? I'd genuinely like to know.
