If it's the non turbo 300 diesel. It'll do about 18mpg and you'll get to about 65 before you run out of steam.
A turbo revolutionises (sorry about the spelling there  ) the engine.
As soon as you change the tyre size from stock the gearing will be effected. Before it becomes undrivable, depends on how fast you want to go and how quick you want to get there.
