Harsh reality dictates that we reach into the depths of our pockets to pay at the pumps these days. Unavoidably, to many people, the vehicle has become a necessity.  Of course, the more health conscious way is to ride a bike or walk, but winter in Ontario doesn’t always afford us that opportunity.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not to mention that by the time we’ve gone to work or school, got the groceries, picked up Jimmy from soccer practice, gone through the drive thru, and run countless other errands, the car seems to be a saving grace.  Could you imagine doing it all on a bike? They don’t make drive thrus for bikes.  And what if you own a service <\/a>company, how much is fuel to keep your trucks on the road?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
