Default Price of Diesel vs Petrol engines?

Over here in Switzerland they seem to charge a lot for Diesel engines.
eg 2xVolvo D3-160 DP (160hp/120kW)vs 2x Mercruiser 5.0l MPI Bravo III
(260hp/194 kW) is an additional 12'000 EUR/16'000 USD
or 2xVolvo D4-260 DP (260hp/191kW)vs 2x Mercruiser 350 MAG MPI Bravo III
(300hp/224 kW) is an additional 30'000 EUR/40'000 USD.

What do you pay for a Diesel over a Petrol/Gasoline engine?
eg what is the premium for Diesel for two engines in the 190kW/255hp
range?

TIA
