Offer: $2.99/Gallon of Gas for 3 Years
The catch is you have to buy or lease a Chrysler.
Chrysler offers $2.99 for a gallon of gas(Chicago Tribune) DETROIT - As gasoline tops $4 per gallon in some areas and crude oil spikes to new records, no major automaker has been hit harder than Chrysler LLC.
The No. 4 U.S. auto seller still relies on trucks and sport utility vehicles for 70 percent of its sales, and buyers are shunning more fuel-efficient models it has introduced in the past few years.
With sales down 23 percent in April and nearly 18 percent for the first four months of the year, the Auburn Hills company on Monday night tried to pull some buyers back. The maker of Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep vehicles announced an offer that caps the price of gasoline at $2.99 a gallon for three years for people who buy or lease new vehicles from Wednesday through June 2.
The offer covers most of its models and is based on 12,000 miles of driving per year and the vehicle's government fuel economy rating. Customers will get a card for buying gas that is linked to their own charge account, Chrysler said. The customer will be billed $2.99 a gallon, and Chrysler will pay the rest.
