Vote: $2.99/gallon gas ... guaranteed?

Tuesday May 6, 2008
Would you buy a new vehicle in the next month if you were guaranteed $2.99/gallon gasoline, E85 or diesel to fill its tank for three years? Well, if you buy a Chrysler vehicle before June 2, that's the dealie. Just yesterday Chrysler announced a new incentive: buy a new Chrysler and choose from 87 octane gasoline, E85 or diesel and get a guaranteed pricelock of $2.99/gallon for the first three years of ownership, according to a recent article from Automotive News. The deal: no matter the current pump price, your specially issued credit card (to be used at certain filling stations), gets you the bargain price. While details on models and station locations are yet to be announced, this is surely an appealing ploy by Chrysler to help spur sales of fuel-thirsty SUVs and trucks. So, we can't help but wonder ... would you consider it? And it'll surely be interesting to see if other manufacturers follow suit. Stay tuned.

And in the meantime, if y'all are wonderin' what E85ers or diesels are out there to choose from (and which ones are Chrysler's), check out our current lists of 2008 flex-fuel vehicles, 2008 diesel vehicles and even the 2008 hybrids.
