Diesel engines are heavier so a 2500 cc diesel engine will be heavier than a 2500 cc petrol engine because stronger parts are needed for their operation‚ this extra weight will reduce their performance levels. The turbo diesel engine will gain a higher percentage of the increase in horsepower but will not automatically become faster than a similar sized gasoline engine with a turbocharger offering the same amount of boost.

It’s similar to the tone people sometimes use nowadays to tell me that someone I’m looking for is on the golf course or at the hairdresser’s or at the gym‚ or even "away from his desk." The combination of vagueness and specificity
