NEW YORK — Hyundai said Tuesday that customers in the U.S. who buy or lease its vehicles by Aug. 31 will receive a gas card that lets them buy fuel at $1.49 a gallon for a year, a promotion to win over consumers worried about volatile prices at the pump.
Hyundai customers who enroll in the promotion, which launches today, receive a gas card that bills gas purchases at $1.49 per gallon of regular-grade gas, regardless of the pump price.
The incentive is the second attempt this year by the Korean automaker to take pressure off buyers. In January, it launched a program to take back vehicles under certain conditions from Hyundai customers who lose their jobs.
