I find it hard to belive that ANY 126 gas or diesel would have ANY trouble going 70MPH.
my 82 easilly accelerates to 70, 80, pegs the speedo, and beyond!
don't forget that all the 126 vehicles have the turbo! and if it has the 6cyl, and the turbo, 120 should be no problem.
sorry you must be driving one of the older 4cyl non turbo diesels... the larger diesels really are MUCH faster.
