Chrysler fixes gas prices for 3 years on new purchases

[squat]

"In response to direct customer feedback citing the prospect of rising gas prices as a top concern, Chrysler LLC today announces its own economic stimulus package: an exclusive gas price protection policy that eliminates the risk of further spikes in fuel prices. With the U.S. purchase of eligible Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge vehicles, customers can enroll in the “Let’s Refuel America” program and receive a gas card that immediately lowers their gas price to $2.99 a gallon, and keeps it there for three years. The offer is available at 3,511 U.S. Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge dealerships through June 2, 2008, and is available on vehicles ranging from popular new compacts, crossovers and minivans to full-size diesel-powered pickup trucks.

“Today we are proud to introduce an unprecedented program to help put customers’ minds at ease and do something to help working people who are worried about the volatility of fuel prices and vehicle cost of ownership,” said Jim Press, Vice-Chairman and President, Chrysler LLC. “The Let’s Refuel America Price Guarantee puts money in your pocket today, and allows our customers to better manage their fuel expenses. And you can't get it anywhere else besides a Chrysler, Jeep or Dodge dealership.”

The Let’s Refuel America program offers consumers a combination of the fuel price protection program and additional bonus cash up to $3,000 on available vehicles, including Chrysler PT Cruiser, Dodge Charger, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Dakota and Dodge Ram..."

Bah, all the good deals come out after I buy my car.  I'm not worried though, I like the way this thing rides and looks.

Interesting, do you get this with the current incentives or do you have to choose between the two?  If it's both then it's a great deal.  Either way it's a pretty good marketing ploy to get people in th door.

You have to choose between this and the current incentives.

Makes sense.  I had the choice of cash back or good interest financing.  Some people don't need to finance so they'd take the cash back and others that do need to finance might take the good interest rate.  Nice to have options.

It's just another scam.  I'm actually worried that this could work really well.  Chrysler would be well off (which I would be glad about) but this could have repercussions of that idiot carters price fixing back in the 70s.  The reason there were gas lines is because gas was fixed at a price and it was too cheap.  There wasn't enough supply at that price so the price should have gone up but didn't.
