Some time ago, the oil pressure light on my car started to come on from time to time when I stop at a light. A shop said it's because of the bad sending unit and they changed it. It started again after an oil change a few weeks ago. They said it's because the oil level is low and it caused the sending unit to go bad. I actually checked the oil level and it was about half way between max. and min. The shop said it should always be at max.!! What's the correct level then?

why do even the best hybrid cars get only 60 mpg when that is being accomplished in europe now without hybrid technology? Why did the honda in the 1980s get 40mpg and now no better than 35 w/o the "magic" of the hybrid? Why hasn't there been any significant breakthrougs in transportation technology in the last 15 years? Hybrids have huge potentian to get over 100 mpg... why aren't they?

I drive a Volvo 2001 S40. This morning I dropped my son off at the daycare, when I got back in the car and turn the key to start it nothing at all happened. The engine didn't even turn over. So I took the key out and put it back in to try again. When I tried to turn it this time some of the lights on the dash thingy lit up, but they were flickering and I could here a strange clicking sound, but the engine still didn't start. This all seemed strange to me considering I was just driving it fine 5 minutes prior. The car is now stranded and I don't know what to do. I don't know anything about cars so hopefully my wording is understandable. I am thinking it may be the battery but I really don't know. Can anyone help me?

I am thinking I want a SUV or SUT, but I want good gas mileage, good AC and Heat control, decent towing capacity, four wheel drive, and my budget is anything under $7K. What are some other good things to look for in a car, or a what car would be good for me based on this info?

I couldn't fall asleep last night so I was thinking about the new Jeep "Compass". That is a cool car name. So I tried to think of some other cool car names. It worked! I fell asleep after coming up with the following:
Posse, Facet, Myriad, Helios, Apex, Partner, Dominion, Griffin, Seethe, Serene, Hero, Bravo, and there were others I can't remember.

Ok, so some of mine are bad or may have been used, you can tell me, but I want to hear your ideas, too, please?

Yes, I understand that they take it, and sell it, and you pay the outstanding. BUT.

If there was (cosmetic) damage or any minor repairs needed to the car before it got repo'd, would they do the repairs and then sell it at auction? Or would they just sell as is to get as much, or as little as they can for it? I've hear a horror story about repair costs being tacke don to the debt balance. Is this fact or fiction?
