 Review on Petrol Vs. Diesel car by spuranik - MouthShut.com
Theoretically a diesel engine is more efficient than a petrol engine and practically, diesels are cleaner too in terms of gaseous emissions though they lose out on particulate matter emission.
One problem for a petrol engine is that if the compression ratio is too high, and the pressure in the cylinder gets too high during the inlet stroke, then the fuel/air mixture can start to burn too soon, while the piston is still on the way up.
When a petrol engine is started from cold it needs loads of fuel to make it run properly.
