Diesel Honda's?

in europe a petrol engine can't keep up with a modern diesel in terms of
power

a common 2.0 4 cyl 16v petrol engine has around 140 hp and 170 Nm of torque

a common 2.0 4 cyl turbodiesel engine with direct injection, common rail
etc has around 130 hp but 280 Nm of torque

so, on the road the accelaration of 80 km/h to 120 km/h is much faster with
a diesel

in europe the economic sense of a diesel depends on the taxsystem of that
country

in terms of fuel economics, a modern petrol engine like toyota's vvti of
honda's i-vtec uses nearly as much fuel as a diesel
