What seems to be forgotten in this discussion is the basic energy output of Petrol and Diesel.
Petrol burns faster and more easily.
Diesel "burns" (explodes) slower but more power full.
A Petrol vs. Diesel engine will therefore always have different outputs in torque and power, as a Petrol engine can burn petrol faster and get the power more rapidly. A Diesel engine will consume the Diesel slower, but the power comes in larger burst.
A Petrol engine will therefore give more HP and a Diesel more Torque.
(I don't know if this make any sense in the discussion)
