Dodge needs all the help they can get to sell their cars.

GM won't do that, They have just stopped making anything but small cars.

My salesman said Cobalts are hot cars right now.

oh like i said before i wasnt saying they shoudl or anything i was just wondering, it just popped into my mind.

Dodge has the worst average fuel economy of any make(can you say HEMI). Thats why they are promoting $3 gas for a few years.

true, never thought about that.

yeh chevy can boast best in class fuel economy with a few of their vehicles.. the Cobalt XFE, and im pretty sure Aveo, impala, malibu, and silverado too. They also made a hybrid silverado that is super nice..

And if they arent scoring top in the class for fuel economy, then theyre running a close second. The Impala is cheaper, faster, has more options, and gets better gas mileage than a camry or accord last time i checked.

I like foreign cars, but i bought the cobalt because it was simply the absolute best bang for my buck. The options, the speed, the looks, and the new-ness of it cant be beat!

lol this is an outside company. you can still do it with your cobalt. my parents have been apart of this thing for almost 2 years now. it hurt them when gas prices were lower your kind of locked in at that price and still have to pay for the gas.. read the fine print but now its paying off nice.. just check it out lol.. it doesnt really help you lol they just dont discount the cars. plus chrysler is doing it too, you were wondering about the other company

now if gas goes under the $3 they are SCREWED lol.. they are crossing their fingers, now that its down to like 3.40 something around here lol

im pretty sure you can just drive your car up to the pump and fill it with gas without going through the company to get gas, i dont see how they would be able to regulate that unless that company delivered the gas and checked that **** in which case f that. this is all with saying that gas goes under 3.00 a gallon

The problem with the deal is that you can't run a v6 or v8 on 87 fuel!

So for the cars that get crappy mileage it doesn't make a difference...if you run the low octane it will run like crap regardless and make you're free gas worthless.

They do it like this: you get a credit card through them and you put the gas on that card. You pay 2.99 for a gallon regardless of the price charged at the pump. But the apr on the card has to be like 20%+ that's how they're making money...on the finance charges...sneaky pete eh?

It's also for 87. So you want to buy a performance model? No cheap gas for you.

i highly doubt GM will make any deals on gas prices as a sales incentive for buyers. GM's sales are down but still, i doubt they will make an offer like dodge has. if your cars can't sell themselves then you (the car maker) has a bigger problem than fuel efficiency.

i personally could care less about gas prices. i spent 30k on a car and refuse to let it sit outside my house to take my bicycle to work to save on gas. if gas goes upto $20 a gallon i will have a smile on my face for a few reasons. less cars on the road causing less traffic, no waiting on line to fuel up, and lower insurance rates since less cars are on the road to hit me or vice versa. lets be real people... many of you are modding for added HP gains, you obviously aren't concerned with fuel efficiency so why bring it up?

lol, the tahoe hybrid gets better mileage than a camry, lol

99silver

i drive a mustang gt, believe me im not concerned about gas mileage. and if gas goes below 3.00 a gallon couldnt you just not use that credit card and be done with it

fbaero10

lol guys this really isnt that good of a deal.. research the company lol.. its a scam you pay a certain amount for a certain amount of gas if you use it or not lol

Friend just bought an 08 charger 3.5 H/O..
He had Two options.. Lifetime Powertrain.. or 2.99 Gas..
Kind of stupid if you ask me, you have to choose one?

fbaero10

lol exactly.. its like a plan you buy into.. man ppl lets read

I was thinking the same thing. Dodge gave my old man a gas voucher with his Ram, so he runs 87 in his 5.7 Hemi all the time, after putting 91 in an Intrepid for years. That beast was about as fast the Firefly I was blessed with driving for a few months.
