Mitsubishi gets desparate
Mitsubishi is now offering a year's worth of free gasoline with the purchase of many 2005 models.

Kind of sad how far this company has fallen.

They would be better off if they advertised, if you buy a performance mitsubishi we will honor the warranty. Look how many evo owners have a brand new car and no warranty. Mistubishi as a car company sucks with the support and maintaining of thier cars.

Like BlueEyes said, this promotion is a jab at the consumers of America...and many have no idea. I can see this helping the company, especially with today's gas prices, only because many consumers of today don't think clearly before making big decision such as buying a new car. If it sounds like an awesome deal, there is probably something fishy about it.

If it's like others gas deals I've seen, they will cover so many gallons per month based on estimated gas milage and average monthly miles, say 12000 per year. So, you get coupons for so many gallons, I'm sure it will be the cheap stuff because most cars only require 87 octane.
They'd get more buyers if they just covered their warrenties...

yep...
Mitsubishi determined different debit card amounts based on how much gasoline customers would require to drive 12,000 miles a year, factoring in differing fuel-economy and tank size for each model, said Schembri, 52. The company also worked out the amounts based on whether models require regular or premium gasoline, using respective per gallon prices of $2.80 and $3.10 per gallon, based on AAA's estimated nationwide average price on Sept. 19, he said.
