If you did, what is the deal with the $2.99 gas?

i bought a chevy, and my fuel costs less than that... haha.

it's going to be written into the new bailout deal proposal next month, if you agreed to $2.99, then you owe that money to the big 3 to offset some of the gov't cost of the bailout. they are wanting to spread the wealth around a little more, and that my friend, is change we can believe in!

Would someone agree to such terms? No.

Greg's just messing with your heads...

It was an offer by the Dodge folks... buy our cars, and get $2.99 gas for the next 5 years... sounded good when we were looking at $4.25 a gallon.

I saw something about it on the news the other day... There's a certain amount of time that the offer is good for... (5 years maybe??) So for now, you'd have to be stupid to pay more, but it's insurance for when the price goes back up... and it will eventually.

It also limits how much gas you can buy at that price in a month. So you can't fill all your (family/friends/etc.) vehicles up for that same price cause you'd be maxed out.

And I may be mistaken, but I believe it's a credit-card type deal where you charge it then pay it back or pre-pay then use it then refill the card.

Thats right.
It is all so based on 12 or 15 thousand miles a year.
At the Dodge dealer I work at they was only 3 people that took the deal.
Another thing is you had to all so give up a rebate.

Hmmmm no good for me. Put about 10,000 miles on since I got tires in August.
