Ok, my last post was in jest, but this warrants addressing seriously.
You are correct that under EXACT circumstances, a car wouldn't make more power on veggie than on diesel. However, I have had cars that DO make more power on veggie, but this is more to do with old, worn out IPs, vacuum or air leaks in fuel systems. I'm not talking about "butt dyno", I'm talking about being able to cruise at 80 mph on veggie vs not being able to hit 70mph on diesel
Example: On my e300d, I have ~8inHg of vacuum in the fuel system @ 65 mph. On veggie, I have ~3. That's with new filters on both sides. I'd be willing to bet I make more power on veggie than on diesel if I tested as-is. If I restricted the veggie line to get a comparable ~8inHg of vacuum, then yes, you are right I would probably make LESS power
