Suzuki offers free gas incentives through June
Through June 30, 2008, you can get "free" gas for the summer when you buy a new Suzuki. The gas spiff comes in the form of a prepaid Visa card, that is charged with up to $470 -- which represents the amount of money you would spend on gas for the specific vehicle, for three months of average driving.
For example, if you buy a Suzuki SX4, you will get a Visa card for $355. The value is calculated by assuming an average 1,000 miles per month, with the SX4 getting 28 miles to the gallon and a gas price assumption of $3.29 per gallon.
To figure the gas card value, divide 3,000 miles [3 months] by 28 MPG, which equals 107.14 gallons. Multiply that by $3.26 per gallon, and you get $352.50. Suzuki then round that up to $355.
Here are the gas card spiff for each Suzuki vehicle, which, are offered in lieu of traditional rebates:
-- Free gas for XL7 valued at $450.
-- Free gas for Grand Vitara valued at $470.
-- Free gas for SX4 Crossover valued at $355.
-- Free gas for SX4 Sport valued at $320.
-- Free gas for Forenza valued at $355.
-- Free gas for Forenza Wagon valued at $370.
-- Free gas for Reno valued at $355.
