Toyota offers 5,000 miles of free gas with purchase in UK

(June 2, 2011) Toyota is offering an estimated six months of free fill-ups (5,000 miles maximum) for the purchase of a new Aygo, Yaris, Auris and Verso in the UK. That's a deal that might move a view vehicles off the lots in the United States as well.

Each new car will be sold with a pre-loaded Visa card covering the cost of 5,000 miles of motoring – about the distance covered on average in six months of driving.

According to the model purchased, the equivalent saving is up to £635, calculated using a benchmark combined cycle fuel consumption figure and pence-per-litre fuel price. Owners simply use the card to pay for each fill-up until the credit is exhausted.

The offer is open to retail customers and applies to all versions of each model purchased between  June 1 and Sept. 30 and registered before Dec. 31.
