They should help everyone to see that delivered power is a varying function of vehicle speed, and that at speeds above 30mph or so, torque at the wheels is very similar for all three drivetrains.OK, Updated the spreadsheet.
Now all that remains is to add in the 3.0L Eco-diesel that prompted this thread. Except for very low speeds, it'll be significantly lower across the speed range. Why? Because it generates significantly less horsepower, which results in significantly less torque at the wheels.
