Introduces deal to fix price of gas for new customers.
Chrysler CEO: We can meet job-cutting goals

Bob Nardelli says company will not upset the United Auto Workers; introduces deal to fix price of gas for new customers.

5/6/08
Quote:
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) -- Chrysler LLC Chairman and Executive Bob Nardelli said Monday the automaker should be able to meet its job-cutting goals without antagonizing the United Auto Workers.

Chrysler also 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 is based on 12,000 miles of driving per year at the vehicle's rated fuel economy.

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.

Actual savings depend on what happens to gas prices over the next three years, but based on the $3.61 a gallon average price reported Monday by AAA, someone buying a 2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser, which gets an estimated 21 miles per gallon in city driving, would save $355 a year.
"It's a way to give (customers) peace of mind," Steven Landry, executive vice president for North American sales, said in a conference call Monday evening. "We want to get everybody through these challenging times."

call me crazy but why do I not see the prices staying over 2.99 for the next 3 years. I just can't see a company willing to suck up the price dif for 3 years just to get a sale, it's not smart business. Me thinks they know something

Either I had way too much caffine or I'm just in a goofy mood, thought of a silly response to the above post

The gimmick of this program biting the customer in a year or so is like a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick to the face. You just don't see it coming!
