Proprio così, se vivi negli Stati Uniti - anzi in Florida o California - e hai appena acquistato un SUV della General Motors la casa di Detroit ti aiuterà a pagare la benzina. Visto che il prezzo del petrolio continua a salire ed anche negli USA la benzina inizia a costare più dell'acqua del rubinetto, la GM ha pensato di intervenire con sovvenzioni che ribassino il prezzo di mercato della benzina che viene consumata a litri e litri dai giganteschi SUV. La notizia viene data dalla Reuters qui, ne riporto di seguito un brano:
"General Motors has announced plans to subsidize gasoline purchases in Florida and California in an effort to increase sales.
GM, which made the announcement Tuesday, said the program would base the subsidy on a maximum price of $1.99 per gallon of gasoline and would be open to new buyers of some of its 2006 and 2007 full-size sport utility vehicles and midsize cars in the two states. Vehicles eligible for the fuel rebate include the 2006 and 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, GMC Yukon and Yukon XL and the Hummer H2 and H3, the company said.
The gasoline credit would be based on a consumer's estimated monthly fuel use. Consumers would be credited for the difference between the average price per gallon of premium fuel and the $1.99 price, adjusted for the miles they drive, GM said.
(...)
For example, GM said, a Californian who buys a 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe and each month drives it 1,000 miles, or 1,600 kilometers, would receive an estimated monthly credit of $103.75. A Floridian who buys a 2006 Buick LaCrosse and drives the same distance would get about $60, GM said."
Quale commento si può fare? Forse vale la pena annotare che non è saggio fare sconti sul bere agli ubriachi...
