The gas price thing is brilliant in many ways. I don't see why people bash it. Most people still took traditional incentives anyway.

For the most part. If memory serves, it's also the cucumber capital of Japan. Hence the home-market ads for the FT-86 featuring Takeichi-kun, the cartoon cucumber whose meteoric rise through the underground drift world has shamed him in the eyes of his school-master.

Haha, I missed that last one. Wow, the people that locked in at $2.99 a gallon gas must feel like the biggest suckers right now.

why? When gas was 4$ + a gallon they were saving huge money. When it went down below 2.99 a gallon they don't have to use their card, they just get gas at the price everyone else does. Then, when gas goes back up over 3$ a gallon (and it will, don't fool your self) they can laugh at you as they fill up for 2.99 a gallon.

And the person that took the larger rebate will be laughing even harder, since their rebate was worth more than the potential gas savings for any price under $5/gallon. When you consider the time value of money in addition, its not even close.

Mathematically the gas rebate incentive is a total wash vs. the normal rebate. It would be even if gas was still $4 a gallon.
