Chrysler offer 3 year $3 gal on new diesels

Chrysler has introduced "Let's Refuel America," a program that locks in the price of regular gas, E85, or diesel fuel for 3 years at $2.99 per gallon for consumers who buy select vehicles.

Let's Refuel America cardholders can also use the card to fill up other vehicles in their personal fleet, up to the 12,000-mile limit. However, diesel card holders can only fill up with diesel, and regular gas card holders will be charged extra if they fill up with mid-grade or premium gasoline. If a cardholder sells their vehicle before the 36-month time period is up, they can still continue to use the card for the remainder of the three-year period.


Small/Compact Car
Dodge Caliber, Chrysler PT Cruiser, Chrysler PT Cruiser Convertible

Mid-size Car

Chrysler will be a thing of the past if gas prices go up to 10.00 a gallon as some have predicted----
Seems they may have been furthur ahead to design vehicles that could get 40 mpg or more

By doing this they think it will cost them less the giving $3-$6,000. rebates on cars and trucks as the cost is spread over 3 years. You can bet they also limit how many gallons of fuel you can buy at the $2.99 price.

If you fill 30 gal once a week, then you'd be done with the card around August or September, leaving you to pay whatever "record" price it is from then on.

There is a simple solution to that. Buy two vehicles and when you have used the gas card up on the first one in Sept, start driving the second one

Sometimes i wonder if you guys ever went to school

I have a feeeling this won't be the only car company to have a deal similar to this. They have done gas rebates before, like $500 worth of fuel for buying certain models, etc. With fuel prices increasing and consumers shedding those SUV's and gas guzzlers for cheaper more efficient vehicles, auto manufacturers are going to come up with some very interesting marketing programs.
