This is no different than the zero-percent financing racket that went down with the Big Three a couple years back. This might be nice for consumers wanting to hedge the price of fuel, though, and you can better believe that I'd be filling up some extra tanks littered in the bed in the Hemi Ram.

Am I the only one here who heard this news and thought "WTF??? $2.99??? That is supposed to be cheap???"

This may be the first sign of PO-induced cognitive dissonance on my part. I can't process how the general public can feel like this is normal. Are people completely blind to what is happening around them? And all our illustrious government and candidates can come up with is "crush OPEC, drill ANWR, plant corn, mine coal"

We are so completely fux0red.

When I bought my 07 Tahoe in 2006 they had a special in which they paid the amount over $2.99 for 1 year. It was great because gas never got below $2.99 here in my part of Los Angeles so all I paid was $2.99 and GM paid anything above that.

I wish that last for more than a year because now I am paying $4.09

That's the most hilarious thing I've read all year.

[Ferretlover]

Very funny!
I bought gas yesterday (first time in a month), and decided I would save the receipt. Might make for an interesting discussion one day!

[Denny]

Its so funny, and as with real humor, it has such an aura of truth contained in it.

[Munqi]

They say that these things are a complete scam.

Why? Dont know and dont really care. I wont be buying a chrysler anytime soon.

Let's Refuel America may as well be "Let's Make Saudi Arabia Richer Than It Already IS". I'd Like to know how this is going to refuel America?

[Fiddlerdave]

What do you get if we go to war with Iran and there is no gas at all, or we get 5 gallons per week ration coupons? That's a short drive in a Tahoe.

"It's an ignominious end for the company of Lee Iacocca and once-hot models like the Dodge Viper, PT Cruiser and the Hemi 300C. Daimler, which paid $36 billion for Chrysler in 1998, put a fitting coda on its investment last week. It valued its remaining 20 percent stake in Chrysler at zero."

Currently i don't think you could give me any Chrysler product. They are the standard for junk.

although...

[dream]I wish i had one of those old "Road Runners" with the 440 sixpack and the hood that popped up when you gunned it. Just one day is all i would need and about $500 in gas and at least 3 sets of tires (1ply). You can't imagine the burnouts i'd do in that, the smoke i'd create, the girls with their tops of screaming my name as i let that rear end loose... [/dream]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '"')Chrysler as we know it will cease to exist very soon," says auto consultant Kimberly Rodriguez of Grant Thornton, which predicts half of Chrysler's 14 factories will close. *** So why would GM want a worthless automaker? Well, it certainly isn't about Chrysler's cars. It's about the cash. Chrysler said it had $11.7 billion in the till this summer, and GM desperately needs that money to survive. It also wants to get rid of one of its crosstown rivals so it doesn't have to match the outrageous rebates Chrysler puts on its models any more. "The real reason GM is doing this is to get their hands on that cash," says auto economist Sean McAlinden of the Center for Automotive Research, "and to put their competitor down. It's called 'buying the business.' In that way, you save GM."

[Kristen]

Well I guess we'll have to take Chrysler out back and shoot er right in the head. 1 down two more to go.

[BigTex]

I'm actually surprised that Chrysler is only valued at zero. I would have thought it would represent a huge net liability with many claims from creditors, retirees, landlords, dealerships, parts manufacturers, etc.
