Hi all,
My car is starting to go kaput in more than one way... The dash lights dont work (Fuses are ok for all) as well as the radio appears to be dead and not working. Now the turn signals don't work as well as the hazzard lights... thats the worst... the passenger windows do not come down either and then there is the poor gas mileage.. It also rattles like a son of a gun once you hit 60mph.

It appears to have a leak beneath, and the pick up on the automobile seems to be pretty sluggish when getting out of the stop position... lots of rattles and whines going on too. Leak may be oil, and just not sure on the mpg... appears to be about 225 miles on a tank of petro.

Does it need 91 octane? I had a tuneup last October, we live in Minnesota, so not sure what else could all go wrong next.

This car may be ready for the scrap heap... and I dont want to put much more money into it... it has 182k on it... I had a 90Accord before this one and the accord lost its front axle thats why I put that one to sleep before I got this one. The accord had 235k... I dont have monies for a new automobile just yet, but with a new job some 20 miles away, and being in rushhour it wont be pretty with this Taurus... I was spoiled by my 5 mile commute.

Any thoughts on MPG and turnsignals would be appreciated. Thanks and have an awesome weekend all!
