Unless you're thinking of two jacks per cylinder, you only need two
jacks.
On a four-cylinder, two pistons go up when the other two go down.

Andrew - Have to add my bit - I drive my 1981 300SD at 80 MPH frequently on
I95 [slower is often dangerous]. It is rock solid and responsive. I would
rather drive it that way than my wife's Infinity, which she [unfortunately]
usually drives 10 - 15 MPH faster [never a ticket, she has some odd internal
radar detector that has never failed] The Infinity will definitely handle
those speeds easily, and could certainly out run my SD, but we both think
the SD rides better.
Guess you suspected to get a bit of dander up from this list with that
comparison, though.
