May 25, 2006 -- GM offering reduced gas if you buy
GM is trying to come up with ways to make sure people are still buying big SUVs. Sales trends show that people are interested in smaller cars these days. The shock of gas prices has people buying smaller cars. So, GM is trying to hook people in California and Florida with cheap gas. The company is guaranteeing unlimited gasoline for $1.99 a gallon for the first year of ownership. If you drive a lot or must commute long distances, this is a huge deal for you. A few years ago, $1.99 seemed like an outrageous price for gas. Today we have a different outlook. But GM needs to sell cars and $2 must be the price point that works. In Florida, the deal pertains to the Chevy Impala, Buick LaCross, Chevy Monte Carlo and the Pontiac Grand Prix. Those are all mid-sized cars. In California, its the Chevy Suburban, Tahoe, the GMC Yukon and the Yukon XL. If it works, GM will certainly expand this program around the country. Well keep you posted.
