Hyundai is really taking the fight to ailing US automakers. I’ve been a staunch critic of their cars but I really have to hand it to their marketing team this time. Even with the Cash for Clunkers program, Hyundai is set to get the sweet end of the deals.

Anyone who wants to buy a car in this economy should look into getting a Hyundai if only for financial reasons. For one, they do offer a buy-back program that covers you at no risk of worsening your credit score at any time you lose your job. Who wouldn’t want that security.

Their latest offering now aims to address the recent spike in gas prices with this gas price lock program. If you buy a Hyundai, you have the option to get gas nearly anywhere in the US for up to 12,000 miles in a whole year for a locked price of not more than $1.49 a gallon.
