Chrysler touts gasoline deal to win buyers

Price of gas, diesel is locked in at $2.99 a gallon for three years


MSNBC News Services updated 2 hours, 2 minutes ago


The presidential candidates may be touting a gas tax holiday, but Chrysler is offering new car buyers a card that locks in the price of gasoline and diesel at $2.99 a gallon for three years.

On Monday, the U.S. automaker announced a month-long “Let’s Refuel America” program, which looks designed to lure new car buyers into its dealerships — it gives buyers of most of its vehicles at Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge dealerships a card that can be used for purchases of gas or diesel fuel, locking in the price at $2.99 a gallon for three years.

Chrysler calls the offer “a gas price protection policy that eliminates the risk of further spikes in fuel prices” and is available at 3,511 U.S. Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge dealerships through June 2, 2008. Vehicles included in the program range from popular new compacts, crossovers and minivans to full-size diesel-powered pickup trucks, Chrysler said.

Chrysler’s U.S. vehicle sales fell 23 percent in April, with car sales down 19 percent and truck and SUV sales down 25 percent. The Jeep Commander SUV saw sales plummet 49 percent.

The wife wants to buy a Town & Country, but I doubt we get a brand new one. I can't see myself ever buying a brand new car.

Damn the price of diesel is over 4 bucks.
Where is that diesel Wrangler dammit?

Dude that new one is NICE, but the diesel isn't available in the states yet.

In order for chrysler to do this, how many plants did they have to shutter?

It looks pretty damn sweet (for a van). This deal isn't just for diesel autos, is it? I've read it twice now and read it as gas and diesel. Am I crazy?

I don't think they are closing anymore, supposedly there is a "big announcement" next week at our plant. The "word" is a new vehicle or second shift coming back. But that is all rumor.

Chrysler has "popular" cars?

Sorry yaks

This subsidy has to come from somewhere, right?

I'm anxious to see the Journey. It seems to be exactly what I need. By the time I can buy one (2 years) hopefully all the bugs from the first year will be worked out (not that it should matter too much w/the lifetime warranty).

I'd rather they invest that money into, ya'know, improving the fuel efficiency of their current vehicles or, even better, coming out with an affordable vehicle that doesn't use fuel.
