Chrysler Gas Card Locks In $2.99 Gas

Filed in archive Buying Stuff on May 6, 2008

Chrysler has a New promotion announced this morning-buy a Chrysler vehicle and get a gas card that you can use for three years and be guaranteed that every gallon will cost $2.99, regardless of how much gas is currently costing.

The Chrysler gas card is a Visa or MasterCard that you can use anywhere those credit cards are accepted, so you don't have to go to special gas stations to get the deal. The way it works is that as long as you use that Chrysler card, the cost to you will be $2.99 per gallon, even if the station's price is $4.62 or whatever.

What if the price of gas goes below $2.99? Well, that Chrysler card won't be such a deal anymore. But that's sort of the risk you take-and it doesn't seem like much of a risk as gas prices aren't showing signs of dropping in any significant way.

On Fox Business News this morning, Chrysler's Jim Press went on and on about how Chrysler wants to help Americans and get the economy going again, etc., but of course Chrysler really wants to get Chrysler going again.

If you're in the market for a new car, does this promotion make you more likely to consider Chrysler?
