How about using the same 'mar' for all plots, but adding an outer margin?
DAX <- EuStockMarkets[, 'DAX']
DAX. <- cbind(DAX, diff(log(DAX)), diff(diff(log(DAX))))
colnames(DAX.) <- c("DAX", 'vel (%)', 'accel (%)')
head(DAX.)
par(mfrow=c(3,1), mar=c(1,4.5,0,2), oma=c(3,0,1,0))
plot(DAX.[, 1], log='y', ylab='DAX', axes=FALSE)
axis(2)
box(col='grey')
plot(DAX.[, 2], ylab='vel (%)', axes=FALSE)
axis(2)
box(col='grey')
plot(DAX.[, 3], ylab='accel (%)', axes=FALSE)
axis(2)
box(col='grey')
axis(1)
Best,
Wolfgang
