An automotive diesel will produce about 20 HP Hrs. on one US gallon of #1 diesel. That's 20 HP for a period of one hour.
I will bet those numbers are "pre-emission". When the new regs kicked in 4 or 5 years ago the fuel economy of diesel engines went down the toilet.

efficiency is different for each engine. But there is only so many HP you can make per gallon.
THAT I will agree with.
EcoBoost engines get very "thirsty" hauling/toeing big loads or when you crush that egg on top of the accelerator pedal.
