I have a 1989 Oldsmobile. Lately it has been sucking up gas like crazy. My exhusband would keep up on maintanance regularly but since i left i haven't really been that good at the upkeep. . Any idea what it could be? Maybe tune-up or oil change?

I have this Mercedes-Benz 1991, 190E, 2.6. It is a rear wheel drive and all my friends have been scaring me- "it would be a bad car for winter. It does snow in Omaha, Nebraska quite a bit. So...my question to friends is- What can I do about it? I thought of buying a 4x4 truck or cheap, old Jeep Wrangler or an SUV. After winter, I can sell it back with minimum depreciation. (I may be wrong in my calculations).
I know, it will be more expensive to "winterize" my Merc.
Any input or feedback from friends here will be appreciated.
Good Luck and God Bless You All.
Friend

When I was having my oil changed, they check all other liquid in the car. This guy told me coolant water needs to replaced since it is kinda dirty. They charge 70 bucks for it. A gallon of coolant is $10. I am a college student so every dollar counts. Does anyone know if I can do it myself and if so, describe how. Thanks a lot.

Anyways i wake up every morning to find that my ford explorer is always dead cold. The engine i mean. When i start it, it is always on C for the the temperature gauge and never in the middle. Only when i turn it on and let it warm up, does it warm up. My dads truck is not like this it remains inbetween the C and the H every day and never changes. Is there something wrong with my explorer?

Okay i have a 1997 Toyota Camry with 137,000 miles on it
i have had a few problems with my car not many but i had 800 dollars of work done ( i am only 17 and paid for the expenses myself) anyways i just got new tires and now
-when accelerating it vibrates above thirty most of the time
-if i go over a small hill it will vibrate
-when i let off the gas pedal and lightly press it again it will vibrate and sometimes wont change gears when going i have to let off the pedal
-when on cruise it wont change gears until i take it off

What is causing this? My thoughts are my transmission or my torque converter. Any help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks!

I have a 1991 civic and it just stop starting, it doesnt even try to turn on- no lights, no electrical power whatsoever so i thought that it was the battery but i just bought a brand new battery and had it put in and it still won't start the same thing i put the key in and turn it and nothing happens, the connection seems to be pretty good, also, before i put the new battery in i tried to jump start the car but it still wouldn't start. There is no noise or clicking i cannot stress this enough picture trying to start a car with NO battery in it what could be wrong

Anyways, I overheard a mechanic telling someone they had a certian amount of milimeters left on their pads.....

my hitch weight shouldnt be much more then 200 pounds so a household scale i have that goes up to 350 would be able to register it but is the measurement still valid if its being measured from the foot of the trailer jack rather then at the hitch and at the level it would be at when attached to tow vehicle?
