My daughter is on a 9 day vacation that I always thought I would take but never did. After visiting the pyramids and King Tut's Tomb, she boarded a cruise ship for 3 days on the Nile river, stopping along the way to see ancient temples and other interesting places. Hope you enjoy some of the photos she took. Inside King Tut's tomb

May need to break up the problems into smaller bites to get a better focus on each one. Two batteries and alternators in two years is not normal. I know parts quality is getting to be hit or miss proposition at times but??? I am always a little hesitant as the 91 is rarer and we find differences we didn't know about, but I believe the alternator is not self-regulating and is controlled by the BCM. The problem may lie there. That said, I would go over all the ground points as poor grounds can cause all sorts of weird behavior. Are you familiar with the Reatta systems? Brown coolant this soon sounds like the initial flush may not have been as thorough as needed. The temperature gauge could be part of the electrical issues or a coincidence if it works normally otherwise. 20mpg for an overall average wouldn't be terribly out of line, especially not knowing what the conditions are based on. This car may be compact but it is not lightweight, and weighs as much or more than a LeSabre of similar vintage. Also, the 91 has a numerically higher gear ratio. It does have slightly taller tires but the net result is 9% higher rpm at the same speed. If the O2 sensor age is unknown, it should be changed. It is what sends the signal for the ECM to control fuel mixture.

There is a one year warranty, but the guy is checking on the labor portion of the warranty.
