But the diesel engine is always larger in capacity than the gasoline one. For instance I have a Skoda Octavia 1.6l. The equivalent on diesel is 1.9l. That's what I meant.
They are not really equivalent, right? The equivalent petrol-version of the Skoda 1.9 Diesel motor is the 1.8 FSI motor.
Also, at the 2.0 litre levels they have matching Diesel and Petrol motors: 2.0 TDI and 2.0 FSI.
(Actually, in Europe one does not always get a Diesel version of the lowest end petrol motor.)

The numbers I was quoting was for the 2.0 liter diesel and the 2.0 liter petrol so both the same capacity and then you see the diesel has some advantages
Something we discussed earlier: Turning radius, remember?
Ah, yes, well, it's 10.6m. Might be not so small I have no clue actually, but up to know I didn't had any problems with it for normal driving, parking, maneuvering, etc...
It was early 2006 when I was test-driving some cars... So, you are quite right. It was an older version with a turning radius of 13m, IIRC (and back then it had reinforced my belief that Volvo makes good trucks , looks like they have improved a lot!).

It's at Wat Tham Sua (or Tiger Cave Temple) in Krabi, Thailand. The picture was taken just after walking up (and down) a 1237 steps staircase to see a big golden Buddha.
