That has earned the product an endorsement, from the. Emission Control Centre in the United States. Motorists wiil prcbably firat notice the difforence the Vitalizer makes at the gas pumps. While the product's manufacturer élaim a ton tels-15per cent increase in mileage, Bartley says quite often .that figmre is Bartley was firat imtroduoed to the Vitaizer about aine months ago, when bis uncle, an agent for, the product, preSontod one te, put on Bartbey's Aerostar min-van. Shordty aller the installation, Bartley went on a lon~g trip that took bim .oene 4,200 kIlonietres. "Before I put it on I was geftting.408 ibometres to a ful tank. Aller I put it on, I got an averaege cf,575 kilometres, msays Bartfley. At one point ho noticed a 55 par cent increaso -in bis gas mibeage.

The Vitalizer bas been in Canada for five years now. There are two different sizes available, depending on your gaz line. Bartley says the Vita]izer can b. used on any engine whether it is gas or diesel . It can ho used on cars, trucks, boats, inotorcycles, . ., basically anythingtbat bas an engine. The italizer is prioed at $189. Bartley says the- average driver will find it pays for itaelf i about four months through savings, on gslneý and maintenance. Tonight is Ail Hallows Eve, a night when ghosts and goblins, or at least yung children disguised as ghosts and goblins,. magicaly appear everywhere. But tonigqht, is not the only time these evil spirits corne out ta haunt us. jAlmost'everyday and everywhere I go, I sée dozens of demons and dragons sitting behind steering wheels and disguised as icensed drivers. How do I know they're really evil spirits? CQue #1. They've abviously made a pact with the devil, where in exchange for being ganted a driver's licence they agre. te leave this mortàI world as soon as possible and take as manv unsuspecting _good spirited motorists with themà asthcy cannmanage. CQue #2. Evil s»pfrt reconitrary by nature. Evyerything we sèe-as bad they consider ta be good, and vice versa, so they alwaýysdothe exact opposite of what we would expeot. They pass in.no passing zones, a traffic light. turning yellôw means speed up, nat caution. A Maximum -iQO km/h' siga means Minium'100 km/h and "yield ta pedestrians".means "get the. heaven out of My waýy, rm coming through". Clu. #3. They hate bright lights-. That'g why they neyer use their 'turn signais and seldom use -their headlights, except to flash-in yourrear view mirror. . Clue #4. Most are nearsighted, which explainsWhy they tendto drive about six inches away from your ,rear bumpr. Clue #5. Many of them give their secret pact with Lucifer away by frequently referring to themselies and-ý their cars as "hiot stufi". What impact do these round tricksters have on you and me? This year in Ontario alan.ý there wiil be more, than 200,000 tralflc accidents, including more. than 350,000 vehicles. Not ail of these preventable, but sorne are more _preventable than others. If only 10 per cent of these accidents were prevented, there would be 20,000 fewer collisions, not to mention 35,000 fewer insurance dlaims. With only a minimum effort to, prevent the most easily preventable accidents, Ontario dr-ivers could collectively do more ta reduce automobile insurance premiumsB than any plan that any government or private company could ever hope ta -devise. How can you avoid becoming a demon driver? Be more critical of your own -(not someone elses) driving habits. Before making a Ieft turn throùgh a gap that may be too small, taiIgating, changing lanes too quickly, or running a yellow liq ask yoursclf three questions. What do I.have ta gain? What do I have to las.? What would my insurance agent say? Let's ail work together to 'reduce accidents. Mfake sure y ou're not one of the highway goblins. DRIVE SAFELY. Drivers -who neglect to completely remove ail snow and ice from their vehicles may b. playing one of the most dangerous winter sports of all. "Peeçp-hole driving' is a game 1k. much like Russian roulette. The players must accùratey navigate around other vehicles and avoid both animate and inanimate objecta while peering through a sniall hole created by a quick sweep of the wipers. "Good drivers know they must b. able to see in ail directions," says Pat Curran of OAA Toronto. 'Txpert drivers don't play the "peep-hole garne" and are intolerant of those drivers who do."$ Be sure te tae the time te completely remove ail snow and ice from the entire car -- -hood, roof, trunk, lights and windows. Snow left on the haad may blow back onto yoùr windshield. Snow left an your roof or ti-unk may blow back onto the windshields cf others. Make winter driving Iess cf a risk -- se. and b. seen.
