different gearing. different engine mileage. different engines, really. maybe same size and type, but no two engines are the same. different engine set-up...too many reasons to mention.

Has to be a slightly older car, could be wear and tear on the engine and drivetrain, also there could be different torque settings or a multitude of things similar

Great question but they are not exactly the SAME car. Ford just makes both of them. One may be geared differently.

Different tire compunds. There is no difference in the drivetrain or programming between the two cars, unless they are different years.

the tires on the taurus might be worn more, or, if they are fuel injected, the injecters might be dirty in the mercury, which cuts down on the horsepower. i would have them cleaned if its fuel injected.

both above right, powe-weight. (also tire grip) You must have to much rubber on your tires if you burning rubber all the time.
