Come on man, give em a break. Even though I am primarily a GM fan, I really do want Chrysler to succeed. I like a lot of their cars and dont want to see them go.(sniff sniff).........

Wow, I didn't think of that. I wonder if they have any way of stopping that?So the card is limited by the number of years? If that's the case you could use it to refill all your cars, lawnmowers, boats. And maybe make some money selling to your neighbors.
Not to mention that Chrysler is probably well aware of the fact that at least 10% of all gift cards are never redeemed, which amounts to billions of easy profits annually for US-American companies.So the card is limited by the number of years?

Yep, they had free publicity on Fox news, Fox business, CNBC and the local radio station I listen to this morning from them talking about this.Clever move.
While rebates are always nice to have, working off the massive free-publicity hysteria of increasing fuel prices is IMO smart marketing.
I can't believe the Mullet Jeanyis Mark Fields didn't think of this first...:think:
Don't worry. That will never happen.If gas gets back down below $3.00, "You got nuthin sucka!"
there are tons of participating stations. Furthermore, Chrysler makes several vehicles like Caliber, Sebing/Avenger I-4 and Compass that get OK mileage. In my area gas is already $3.60 a gallon so you are saving 60 cents a gallon now with prices sure to head up this summer. Not bad at all. Especially when you consider this wont hurt resale value.This sounds too complicated to be a good promotion. Who is really going to want to start driving to "participating" gas stations to save 50 cents a gallon? If you care about the money and gas prices, you are probably inclined to buy vehicles more fuel efficient products then what Chrysler offers. Then after three years your stuck with a greatly depreciated gas guzzler with $4.50/gal or something gas prices. Not smart.
Still, I've gotta give Chrysler some kudos for thinking outside the box.
First of all a Ram isnt going to average 15mpg. Secondly, has is ALREADY higher than 3.50 a gallon. Its close to $3.70 in some places and its expected to go up as we enter the summer. You can combine this with other offers so its a good deal in my book. It not like you have to buy a vehicle at MSRP to get this.Am I doing the math wrong? If gas is $3.50 a gallon so you save $0.50 per gallon and your Ram gets 15mpg combined and you drive a whopping 15,000 miles a year, then ... 15000/15 = 1000 gallons X $0.50 = $500 dollars per year or 3 years or $1500. Not exactly a deal maker for those who can crunch numbers. Even at $4 bucks a gallon your only saving $1000 year/$3000 total.
If you add in the time value of money, it's worth even less.
I don't suppose that this rebate is taxable though.
If gas gets back down below $3.00, "You got nuthin sucka!"
