Less gas, not less $$

So, I have been on a blog hiatus, but had a thought. Chrysler, among others, are offering plans such as the $2.99 gas deal where if you buy a select car you only pay $2.99 a gallon in gas for 3 years up to 15,000 miles per year, or something like that- and they'll foot the rest of the bill. Especially when, for the first time ever, my friends were willing to pay more to park in a lot last night downtown rather than circle for those coveted after hours free meters so I wouldn't waste gas- and I being the poor one that I am, pulled into that lot. However, this does not really fix the problem. Chrysler should NOT be giving people gas discounts, they should address the problem by making more fuel efficient cars. The technology is there- USE IT! This discounted gas is a great temporary marketing ploy, but does not do anyone any good in the long run.
