Don’t Be “Fueled” by Additives and Devices That Claim to Improve Gas Mileage
Miracles for increasing fuel efficiency don’t exist!


When gas prices go up, the scam artists show up. Products that claim to boost gas mileage are bogus, according to the EPA. After testing hundreds of “mileage maximizers,” the EPA says it “has not found any product that significantly improves mileage.”

2009 Routan Is the Volkswagen Van for American Tastes
Better to build on a success than to import a European van.


If you are wondering why Volkswagen decided to base its minivan on a minivan made by Chrysler, it reflects the fact that Americans have already established what they like in a minivan, so it made sense to add Volkswagen values to an American van.

Volkswagen Introduces the 2009 Passat CC as a Four-Door Sport Coupe
The CC is longer, wider and lower than a standard Passat.


If you want the sexy lines of a coupe, but need the convenience of four doors, Volkswagen thinks you’ll like the 2009 Passat CC. Its dramatic, flowing roofline seemingly turns the Passat into a sleek, luxury coupe. One reviewer has suggested that the 2009 Volkswagen Passat CC would be a reasonable substitute for a Mercedes-Benz CLS with much the same emotional appeal, similar ambience and features for about half the price. Keep that in mind because the more you look at what Volkswagen tells us is coming, the more dramatic the CC sounds. By the way, CC stands for “Comfort Coupe.”

After School Fun!
When the homework is done and the practices are over, kick back and watch a back-to-school flick!


Raise your hand if you want to have fun! Going back to school shouldn’t only be about homework and learning. There’s always plenty of room for entertaining activities. So put away the pencils and calculators and grab some popcorn, it’s time for a little break.

Forget Mystery Meat
Make a lunch that will have your student coming back for seconds!


Ahh, you remember the school lunch line. Standing there, surveying your choices – mystery meat or a chicken patty? There was always pizza on Fridays and little Jell-O cups. Sure, many of the items are still there today, but now there are healthier options. Let’s not forget the good old brown bag lunch.

Do Your Homework!
Help back-to-schoolers do their best and improve their study skills!


Ahh, September. The leaves turn colors, the air is crisper and your kids are going back to school! Yes, it’s that time of the year when you rush to the nearest office supply store and fill up your shopping cart with notebooks, pens, pencils and calculators. However, it’s not just about brand new supplies – it’s about making sure your children do the best that they can, and good study skills can provide your children with the basic tool needed to succeed in school.

The Seduction of Creativity
Everyone has creative potential, so the key is coaxing it out.


The scientists, biologists and psychologists who study the brain agree creativity is an inherently human trait, but they admit they can’t pinpoint where or what part of the brain is responsible for creativity.
