About 68 gallons of gas.
I get between 25-28 mpg. Depends on your driving habits.
It costs $187 to drive from New Jersey to Texas (each way) based on current gas prices along the route and driving a typical sedan (Ford Taurus).
if you get dirt in a transmission while drive 1000 miles you could ruin it. no question about it...
The average life span of a 2003 Ford Taurus is probably about 250,000 miles. This does not take into account the regular maintenance of the vehicle or how and where the car is driven. Many cars will last well past 250,000 miles if they are taken care of with regular maintenance and good driving habits.
Okay well I have a 1999 Ford Taurus and I have heard that when a Taurus reaches about 120,000 miles the tranny is bound to fail. Mine revs up real high and feels like I'm driving in neutral and has a smell. When it happens my speedometer stops working, which is powered by the tranny. Hope that helps you.
ballpark $1500 sight unseen
The Taurus SHO has a timing belt that must be replaced every 100,000 miles. All other Ford Taurus's have a chain that should last the life of the engine.
