Why petrol engines are faster than diesel engines?

Petrol engines are widely considered to be the most efficient of engines, because they are more refined than diesel. Since diesel is not completely refined, it cannot completely combust and so does not (in theory) produce as much energy per litre of fuel as a petrol engine. However, some diesel engines can be made to be much more efficient than petrol engines because they have a different type of fuel, and burn it in a different way.

Why diesel engine has more efficiency than petrol engine?

Diesel is a more combustible fuel than petrol, therefore less fuel is required to generate the same power as petrol.

This also makes the engine arguably more reliable since there are less parts, and less things to go wrong.
