Prices at the pump are up, big time. Transportation experts predict it will be $4 a gallon this summer. Bummer.
The New Chrysler Corporation has the answer to your fuel problems, if you buy one of their cars. The automaker is guaranteeing the owner of a new Chrysler product $2.99 a gallon gas, no matter how high future fuel costs. "Let's Refuel America" is the promotional brainchild of Chrysler.
According to autoblog.com, between May 7, and June 2, anyone who buys any new Chrysler, Dodge or Jeep will be able to register for a gas card. Once the customer registers their credit card, they will receive a new card that they can then use at participating gas stations. When the card is used, the credit card that the owner has on file will be billed $2.99 a gallon for either regular gas, E85 or diesel fuel. Chrysler will pay the difference. The promotion is good for three years after the purchase of a new car.
There are exceptions, but get this: The card can be used to fuel any car and if the newly purchased car is sold within the three years, you get to keep the card and continue buying cheap gas at the discounted price.
I currently drive a Jeep. I wonder if it's retroactive to 2000? Probably not. Bummer.
