Hi Laurie,Diagnostic Trouble Code Table ,it can tell you the meanning of the p0442,p0136 &p0141.
SOURCE: My taurus failed due to code p0442 ecap emiss ctl sys leak detected (small leak)
Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0442 indicates that a fuel
vapor leak has been detected [as small as 0.10 cm (0.04 inch)] in the
Evaporative Emission (EVAP) system.
Note: Prior to performing the following diagnosis inspect the Canister
Vent Solenoid (CV) for contamination. A situation may exist where contamination
holds open the Canister Vent (CV) solenoid enough to set DTC P0442 and also
plugs the port to atmosphere enough to keep system from being vented quickly.

your code is or the following. Fuel Pump Secondary Circuit Malfunction. This may involve removing your gas tank to fix. Go to the parts store and they can get you the parts you need and let you know for sure.

Either you may be using a key that you had copied from the original or your chip went bad in your original key. Most of cars now a days have the key censor in the key so if it is the incorrect key it will not start your car or if it does not read that chip it will not start
SOURCE: my check engine light came on 2004 ford taurus had
P174 means Oxygen sensor was slow in switching Single, Right
or Rear HO2S - Fuel control
P171 means Oxygen sensor not switching - system was at adaptive
limits - Single, Right or Rear HO2S - Fuel control

SOURCE: what does this code mean?
P0460 Code - Fuel
Level Sensor Circuit Malfunction.
I'm not sure what you mean
by you
mixed gas, does that mean you switched to a different station or
octane level?
Does the gas gauge still work fine? As long as it works fine you could
keep
driving for a few more tanks to see if the problem goes away. If you
overfill
or run the tank too low it can cause issues with the fuel sender.
When
the pump
clicks off, you're done filling. Though at 175K miles the fuel sender
could
just have gone bad. If you start to see symptoms then take it into the
shop
definitely. About the only thing you could do prior to that is if
you're comfortable
you could use a digital volt ohm meter (DVOM) and measure the sensor
readings
at the tank (at the electrical connections).
Good luck.
