Petrol & Gas engines are spark ignited engines where as diesel engines are compression ignited engines. Petrol engines works with explosion of fuel air mixture due to spark from spark plug inside the cylinder. Diesel engines works with combustion of fuel air mixture due to compression, compressed mixture attains a very high temperature which exceeds the flash point of diesel and starts burning inside the cylinder and the hot gases after burning of fuel misture exerts force on piston which makes the diesel engines work. Diesel engines are highly efficient than petrol engines.

Neither is better they are just different and each has a use.
Is the 1995 Volkswagen transporter 2.5 petrol gearbox the same as 1999 petrol 2.5?
Simple answer is no. The way that diesel engines produce and use power is totally different to the way petrol engines produce power, the diesels power is at the bottom of the rev range as opposed to the petrol engines being at the top of the rev range. Becuse of this diesel engine gearboxes use very long gear ratios and petrol engine gearboxes use very short ratios. If you put a diesel engine onto a petrol gearbox the effect would be that in fifth gear at max revs you'll be travelling at 40mph.
