Only if the speed limit allows it And if you have a long enough stretch of highway to get the car up to that speed Just joking!

With the non-turbo diesels and even the turbo, the thing to watch out for, is the lack of acceleration compared with a gas engined car. You need space and time when entering a fast moving stream of traffic.

We at one time had a little 3-cyl diesel smart car. Great little car, but didn't like to go much over 60mph. Had to drive in slow lane of highway and contend with the trucks. You may find the same thing. But your car should be fine at those speeds.
