Ford made an Escort diesel back in the 80's ( I think it was '84 though '87). It had a 2.0 liter made by Mazda. I know there are still a few out there. I have a buddy that has one and gets mpg's in the 50's without any mods. I'm not sure how it would do on the mountains though. Also, I'm not sure if they made a 4 door model.
