I or my parents have a '97 Eddie Bauer Expedition and it has of course the gas mileage, miles to empty and the compass lists what direction the car is facing or traveling. It is stuck right now on the SE direction and we tried reseting like when you reset the gas mileage and nothing changed. Any help please...

When the air is on in the car, are you using the same amount of gas whether the temp is high or low, or whether the fan is on high or lo? Or am I using the same amount of gas either way

Both turn signals work, but when the emergency flashers are turned on, only the left hand side will work. I don't have a wiring diagram or Chilton's for this SUV and don't want to buy one, any ideas out there?

My car manual calls for gas with an octane rating of 91. Most stations sell 87, 89, 93. I have heard the higher the octane the cleaner it will burn but less mpg, and vice versa. Performance car- 07 Subaru WRX (Turbo). Should I go over or under?

We need to re-name our boat and we just painted it and now it is primarily white with orange accents, so would like the name to be something to do with orange, but can't think of anything clever....

I just bought a new 2007 Mini Convertible (non S-Type). I believe the owners manual suggests putting in Premium gas only. However, with an engine as small as the Mini's is this really necessary? What is the advantages of going with Premium gas?

I drove both cars; Accord body structure far superior to Fusion. Not to mention quality control and ergonomics. Fusion had large body gaps (grill looks as if it belongs on another car) and instrument center stack not well thought out. Glad I did my own research; now I know which vehicle I'll purchase.

If the car does not make the start up noise when you turn the ignition but the radio and lights in the car works, what is the problem? If it is the starter or the alternator, how do I check these without a mechanic?

i backed into an old lady, and im wondering how much it will be to fix her crappy *** car. i put a slight dent on the front panel above the tire. she says it affects the driving (the tire is obsturucted)
nothing happened to my car, NOTHING!
i kelly blue booked her car and its not even worth 1000 bucks, i want to not go through insurance, because im still considered a young driver (im 20) and i already pay 200 bucks a month for insurance, this is the first accident ive ever been in, btw, and ive never gotten a ticket, or been pulled over.

so what are my options? how much do you think it will be to fix her junker?

I did ask a question similar to this earlier- but I think this one will make more sense! :)

OK- I bought a 2002 Dodge Stratus in good condition, meaning there are a few dings that you can barely see and that is IT! I bought it less than a year ago. I bought it in July of '06. I owe about $8000 and the retail value of this vehicle basically the same, right above $8000. NOW- the wholesale value is about $6600. I was wondering if there was anyway the dealership would trade for what I owe, or at least middle of the road between wholesale and retail. I am obviously in an upside-down loan. Would that be possible or am I just dreaming? I would like answers from anyone who knows what they are talking about in this business: car dealers, leasers, buyers- the like. Thanks so much!!!

I have a 97 Ford 7.3 powers stroke turbo diesel. It shifts smooth (no slipping or banging), It just seems to shift late around third gear, almost sounds like the engine is winding out (automatic trans). The tacometer doesn't seem to go past 25,000 rpms (that I have noticed- mabe 27,000), but it doesn't sound right- like mabe a sensor or the timing might be off?
The other day, I was going up hill from a dead stop and it shifted to second but did not shift to third until I got up the hill and I let off the gas pedal, then it shifted to third (I do not have a lead foot and I take it very easy). Something just seems off.
I have never owned a deisel so I don't want to be missing a early clue that something may be wronge.
Also, I was checking my trans fluid (while it was running), and it looked different then my gas Ford- not as red, lighter and kinda bubbly, but at the ok / full range on the dip stick. Is the bubblyish look normal?
I hope that I am just paranoid. Any suggestions?
