Screw bragging up gas and diesel. With all this technology lets find an engine that is not going to cost us over $4 a gallon and 10k in batteries. Seriously..

5.4L, my mistake so that will make it a 2.9 litre difference. Most cars here are sub 2 litre just to give you an idea. A 2.0 litre tdi makes 170 hp at 4200 rpm and produces 260 lb-ft of torque at !!!1800!!! RPM. And this is in a VW golf. So no, you don't need 4.4 litres to tow anything. You'll see when diesels finally start hitting the market in the US. Even a 1.4 litre TDI polo will pull off in third gear without touching the throttle.
