The third myth is how most peers think diesels perform poorly or sluggishly. We all know diesel engines are still most common in trucks and semis, but many people would expect a diesel powered car to perform like a diesel truck. Car lovers would think that they would be slow and sluggish, but do keep in mind that diesels are meant for towing and need the torque for pulling extremely heavy loads.

Gasoline engines get to their highest power output by running the engine around 5,000rpm (Lerner).
