In case L'esc really has given up, my interpretation is that he didn't actually say the torque at the wheels for a diesel is lower than that of a petrol, just "a lower proportion of the engine output torque". So if the diesel engine is twice as torquey, but the gearing as only a bit higher, then the diesel's torque at the wheels is still higher. But it would be nice to know how much higher, hence L'esc's request.
But I'm only guessing.
