Default Buyers of a Chrysler, Jeep, or Dodge can fill up for $2.99 a gallon for three years

http://autos.yahoo.com/articles/auto...NnYXMtY2FyZA--
Remember when the prospect of $3.00-gallon gasoline was supposed to cue the death knell for the domestic auto industry? Now the prospect of keeping $3.00 as a ceiling price is being used by Chrysler as in incentive to sell its cars.

Chrysler is hoping to jumpstart its faltering sales by guaranteeing customers they won't have to pay more than $2.99 per gallon for most of the gas they use in their new Dodge, Chrysler, or Jeep for the next three years in an innovative new program that starts May 7 and runs through June 2.
This is brilliant. This will sell a ton of cars.

I'm going in to test out the grand cherokee limited. They also are offering a 3500 cash incentive and another 2000 military and will go 1k under invoice.

Yup. I see an incentive like this becoming more popular. I think it's brilliant, too.

Still a good idea though. Gas is around 3.75 in my area right now. If I were to do this deal, and drive the alloted 12,000 miles (assuming 18 mpg), that would save me over $500 for the first year.

right but what if you just bought a vehicle that got 28-32 mpg?

you'd save the same amount technically

plus not have the unreliability of chryslerh:
