Refuel America Program

by Tim Joseph

Chrysler has announced some big news this week. The maker of Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep vehicles announced Monday an offer that will put a $2.99 per gallon cap on the price of gas for people who buy or lease a new Chrysler vehicle now through June 2, 2008. The actual savings will depend on what happens with gas prices over the course of the three years but prices have been on the rise for a long time now and it doesn’t look like they’re going to be going any lower.

"Today, we are proud to introduce an unprecedented program to help put customers' minds at ease and do something to help working people who are worried about the volatility of fuel prices and vehicle cost of ownership," Jim Press, Chrysler president and vice chairman, said in a statement. The program "puts money in your pocket today, and allows our customers to better manage their fuel expenses."

The average mile per gallon of a Dodge Durango is around 16mpg. At 12,000 miles per year you would be saving about $465 per year if the average price of gas stays at today’s Michigan average of $3.61. This would be a total savings of $1,395 over the course of three years. If prices go up to $4 per gallon as we’ve been told they will then your yearly savings will be $757.50. Not a bad chunk of change if you ask me. There has never been a better time to buy a new Chrysler vehicle.
