With average gas prices hovering around $3.00 per gallon, you will run across all sorts of offers and gimmicks offering free gas. Keep in mind that these marketing tactics are meant to ignite your attention by playing on your emotions.
Gasoline and oil are important commodities to the economy, but the bottom line is your pocket book. Gasoline offers should be considered as cash incentives that basically amount to a discount.
An example of this is www.smartautowarranty.com where they will buy you $100.00 worth of gas with the purchase of an extended auto warranty. If you are in the market for extending your auto warranty, a $100 discount is a great incentive whether you take it as gas or cash.
Some auto dealers have started offering free gas just for test driving new cars. While this does offset the cost of driving to the dealer, it hardly makes up for your valuable time. Consider using www.autobytel.com researching the b est possible car price first and then negotiate for free gas to drive in to test drive their car. This way you will get a great price on the car if you like it and free gas to go if you don't.
There are countless other prizes and giveaways offering free gas. Use your time and resources wisely to save money and do not get emotional with the skyrocketing gasoline prices.
