Holden Caps Fuel at 99 Cents A Litre

[Darren]

GM Holden is tackling rising fuel prices head-on by capping the price of fuel at 99 cents per litre for all new Holden customers.

Private customers who buy and take delivery of any new Holden before 31 October will enjoy a 99 cents fuel cap on 91 RON petrol or diesel for up to 20,000 kilometres or two years, whichever comes first, with Holden covering the difference.

Alan Batey, Executive Director of Sales, Marketing and Aftersales said the Holden 99c Fuel Cap would ease the pain of petrol and diesel prices for Holden customers.

"We will provide this cap across all segments to ensure the benefits are as widely available as possible, given that fuel prices impact all drivers regardless of the size of their car," Batey said.

"Whether you're buying a Commodore for the family, a Barina as your first car, or a Colorado as tool of trade, we know everyone will appreciate our helping hand.

"GM Holden is committed to providing affordable and economical cars to our customers, and this campaign is another way that can be achieved."

New Holden customers will be given a Holden 99c Fuel Cap debit card to purchase fuel for up to 20,000 kilometres, based on the vehicle's ADR081/01 combined fuel consumption figure. In most cases, within 48 hours of fuel purchase, the customer will be debited from their nominated bank account to the value of 99 cents per litre purchased.

Accounts can be monitored by a monthly email statement or checked any time online or by phone. Consumers can see how many litres have been purchased during that month and the savings they have made.

Holden has established a website - Fuel Offer - for consumers interested in the Holden 99c Fuel Cap.

Yeah... It's not a great deal. I'd skip it and just for $5k or so off the cost of the car. I worked it out today and at best, you'll save about $2500 on the fuel deal (based on $1.80 per litre fuel) and not all at once...

[Troy711]

It doesn't work out as good as it sounds... I mean, it is a good inititive for people who are actually already buying a car but it is no reason to buy a car just because of this offer.

[adamc11]

Plus it doesn't apply to 98 ron...

[VSnut]

Hell yeah not a bad deal. shame they cant back date it to 1995 lol. its a real bastard when your worked stroker motor only does 350km to a tank.might buy me a new 1 mile:

[Jo3_Blo]

Meh, not much of a big deal. I bet there will be a lot of idiots who choose a holden as their new car because of the fuel offer.

LOL @ VS nut.

[doms3]

At least it's something

[17UCK!]

good old holden .. 99c pet is the go

[Grennan]

Yeah for everyone who can do the maths its not that much of a saving really. But its going to work on all the families and what not.

[Haydz]

does this count for modified engines.

or does it have to be stock.


modded would be cool.

[ashbox]

as someone who said it before it doesn't apply to 98 ron and 95 ron, you can only use 91 so why would you buy an ss or something with a v8

does this count for modified engines.

or does it have to be stock.


modded would be cool.

I don't understand why you ask that question? Whether its modified or not has no relevance to the 99c fuel offer.

Also, most people with moddified engines aren't going to want to run 91 octane fuel.

hmm, they give you a pre-paid card, i cant see why you couldnt use the holden card on your other daily and use 98 in the new beast
