GM Hopes $1.99-a-Gallon Gas Offer Moves Its Fuel Guzzlers

[Thai]

Here's a way to boost fuel economy: Buy one of General Motors Corp.'s gas guzzlers and fuel will cost only $1.99 a gallon for the next year.

On Wednesday the automaker unveiled the promotion for California residents in hopes of moving some of the vehicles off dealers' lots. Four of the 11 eligible models are passenger cars; the rest are big trucks.

With California's gasoline prices the highest of any state except Hawaii, GM is betting the promotion will catch on.

The automaker will issue monthly prepaid debit cards to reimburse eligible customers the difference between $1.99 a gallon and the average price of premium gasoline in California

My neighbour just purchased a new 3/4 ton GM pickup, and she GM Canada provided her with a card for a 20 cent per litre fuel discount, for a specified amount of fuel. This reduction does no way come close to the US program for gas fueled vehicles, but is expected to increase sales.
