Default RE: A curious question about engine displacement

ORIGINAL: guver

All things being equal, a gas engine will out do a dsl in tork and horsepower. Inotherwords if we change just the minimum (the fuel and only the necessary stuff like ignition and fuel system) The gasoline engine will nearly double the power output of the dsl engine.
then how come they use desil engines in semis? they put out alot of torque. its like a 2 stroke in a way because like a 2 stroke there is certain ways that they have made the engines produce more power.
