ib516, what's the point of your post? The numbers don't seem to represent similar engines even though similar engines are available from multiple manufacturers.

For instance, Nissan has a released diesel and Ford has a v6 and v8 as other options. Finally, it doesn't mention the gearing chosen which impacts this as well.
