Quick! Everyone run out and buy a gas-guzzling Chrysler!

The details on the deal are a little less appealing. You have to link a visa/mastercard to a special chrysler account. They then allocate you 12000 (miles per year) divided by the reported MPG your new chrysler will get you, and you get that many gallons of gas at $3 per year. Of course, this year that means (and assuming gas averages at $4 for the next 12 months):

You save: (on a 25MPG car) 480gallons at $1 per gallon (only for the first 12000 miles now...), $480. Still wanna buy that new Chrysler? If gas averages over $5.. well thats nearly a whole $1000! Such incentives. Oh, and this is only good for 3 years. Much better off haggling with your dealer for an extra 30mins to get an extra $1-3k off.
