Never seen a Mercury diesel but I have seen plenty of Fords. There was some guy that was selling like 4 ford diesel escort wagons.....

You odo must be off. Have you GPS confirmed speedo and odo? My best ever was 32 and that was driving 35mph on the interstate during a hurricane headed from atlanta to florida (downhill).

It's 1mph fast. If I cruise 65 it's the best. But with my setup I can see how it helps on the fwy. It cruises at 70mph on flat groud around 5psi
