Why is Hyundai doing it?
What Hyundai hopes is that you will now be aware of its summer incentive program called Hyundai Assurance Gas Lock, which begins today and runs through Aug. 31. All new Hyundais purchased during that time qualify to receive a special credit card that Hyundai helps to pay at most major gas stations, keeping your regular gas prices at $1.49 a gallon for one year or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first.
John Krafcik, chief executive and president of Hyundai Motor America, is convinced that this promotion, in conjunction with other Hyundai programs, will help stimulate new car buying this summer. “Our research shows that nearly 40% of potential new car buyers are staying out of the market specifically due to uncertainty around future gas prices.”
