RE: RE: A curious question about engine displacement
In order to be fair to compare the two fuels, you must also boost the gas engine with the same amount of boost that the dsl has. Otherwise you got your power improvement not from the change in fuels, but because the engine has been turbocharged to maybe two atmospheres.
And while it should be noted that while it is true higher compression does give more power, it is not because it's a dsl, it's because there is a higher compression.
