It looks like an attractive plan on the face of it, but it's no different than rebates, guaranteed trade in, zero percent financing, etc. Besides what if gas prices drop? What if the Gov. decides to start gas rationing?

I haven't paid interest on a car loan in 7 years.

Of course, you could look up what the offer really is instead of bloviating about what you assume it is.

Why would I add a hit to a Chrysler site by doing that?

You get nothing for free, you're paying for that gas card one way or another.

To get this gas deal it has to be a new one. I'm not sure what I'm getting. I'm still puking at the thought of buying an american vehicle after having such good luck with my rice burners.

So if you're that dead set that you'd prefer non-American, why the heartburn? Just buy what you are happy with.

Then go with what you want to buy, and don't worry about a gas card that only lasts for 3 years. Who knows what gas will do in the next 3 years. Once it expires, you'll still be stuck with a high payment for a vehicle that greatly depreciated the second you drove it off the lot.

I would rather buy a nice used vehicle (and pay outright if I could) and get a lower payment.

Is saving a little on gas really worth paying a high payment for 5+ years?

Stick with what you like.

Marketing is all a ploy, smoke and mirrors to hopefully convince someone to buy something they normally wouldn't. Then you buy and remember, "DAMN, I didn't want this" but by that time you're stuck with it and the payments for the next 6 years.

You'd be better off buying something you want to begin with that gets better gas mileage. it woul be worth the extra $20 a month lost in gas savings.

And three kids!?

I tried the minivan route with 4 kids, HUGE mistake. Once you load the family up there's no room for anything else. No cargo room, no room for groceries etc..
