Chrysler to cap gas at $2.99
Chrysler's Nardelli says company can meet job-cutting goals. - May. 6, 2008
Chrysler also announced an offer that caps the price of gasoline at $2.99 a gallon for three years for people who buy or lease new vehicles from Wednesday through June 2. The offer is based on 12,000 miles of driving per year at the vehicle's rated fuel economy.
Customers will get a card for buying gas that is linked to their own charge account, Chrysler said. The customer will be billed $2.99 a gallon, and Chrysler will pay the rest.
Actual savings depend on what happens to gas prices over the next three years, but based on the $3.61 a gallon average price reported Monday by AAA, someone buying a 2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser, which gets an estimated 21 miles per gallon in city driving, would save $355 a year.

Chrysler just needs to fix their interiors, along with some exterior styling.
Look at these disasters:
Dodge Caliber:
Jeep Compass:
Chrysler Sebring:

The Sebring's not so bad on the outside, just needs some refining (like the hood and side panels). However, the Caliber is an unmitigated disaster, inside and out - ugly, poor design, crappy quality, and terrible to drive.

I can already feel the pain in my knees just looking at that Calibur. I'm probably a foot too tall to be comfortable in it.

IF the warrenty covers all problems, then it might be worth getting.

Re: Chrysler to cap gas at $2.99
I think this is such a stupid idea. If they really want to target consumers who don't want to spend a lot of gas, then they should invest in hybrids, fuel-cells or electric cars.
A consumer would save $400 a year with this gas card, but the same amount of money can be saved if the vehicle achieves just 3mpg more.
