Re: How far will it fall.............
$3.37 here in South Jersey
Dodge and a few other auto manufacturers were using as an incentive $2.99 gas
I'm thinking the auto manufacturers that guaranteed $2.99 a gallon gas knew something we didn't
Not me, because if you figured it out, it doesn't save you much at all even at $4/gal. It's a sales scheme that only catch those that don't do the math. You get a gas card that's linked to your Visa or MasterCard credit card (no debit cards). When you buy gas, your card is billed at $2.99/gallon and Chrysler pays the rest - within certain limits. The cap is capped at the amount of fuel needed to go 12K miles based on the EPA combined mileage for your vehicle (which is always based on not very realistic driving condition). If you try to use your gas/E85 card to buy diesel, or have a diesel card and try to buy gas/E85, you're charged "full pump price plus a $2 service fee per transaction." If gas drops below $2.99, you'll be charged at the lower price BUT the purchase will count against your annual allotment. Once you exceed your annual allotment, you'll be charged the full price until the next year's allotment kicks in? but if you don't use all of this years' allotment, the remainder is forfeited when the new allotment is activated. Oh, and if you follow all the rules and buy a Dodge Durango (the thirstiest car Chrysler sells excluding the excluded SRT models and Dodge Viper), you'll save around $600 a year, depending on local gas prices. Also, you have to forfeit other, more valuable incentives to qualify for the gas card. There are a lot of dummies out there but we're not that dumb.
to $3.45 a gal here for UL reg..................down .53 cents a gal from the high.
