Suzuki Offers Free Gas for Summer

Suzuki’s North American division announced today the "Free Gas for Summer" sales program that kicks off May 1 and runs through August 31.  Buyers will be offered free gas for three months with the purchase of any new 2010 Suzuki model, including the Kizashi, SX4 SportBack, SX4 Sport sedan, SX4 Crossover, Grand Vitara and Equator.

According to the manufacturer, customers will receive a stored value debit card, ranging in value from $280 to $442, which can be used for fuel purchases.

The amount of each stored value gas card is determined by several factors, including an assumed three-month timeframe for summer driving, the car's EPA estimated highway mpg, the Federal Highway Administration's estimated average of 1,000 miles driven per month and the U.S. national average price of one gallon of regular gasoline as determined by the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

"Suzuki recognizes the economic challenges Americans continue to face and thought this promotion was a great way to provide relief for car buyers," said Koichi Suzuki, executive vice president, American Suzuki Automotive Operations. "Working through our U.S. dealer network, we're happy to extend this program to consumers across the country, providing potential buyers even more reason to consider purchasing a Suzuki during the summer shopping season."  

All 2010 Suzuki automobiles are backed a 100,000-mile/seven-year, fully transferable, zero-deductible powertrain limited warranty.
