I have a 2004 F-150 Lariat on order. It is due in any day now. I got it for $200 over invoice, Ford and Kelley Blue Book. That is with the FDAF deliverey and fuel fee added in. My dealer just told me there is also a customer loyalty rebate of $1000 that I will get because I own a 97 or newer Ford Supercab. It is also available on a 97 or newer Regular cab. And you don't have to trade it in, just show proof that someone in the family has one. I think it is a good deal. I am happy with it anyway.

That is a misleading advertising ploy. A dealership owner once told me " I sell cars, I don't sell gas".

They can contract for fuel rates like any large company or fleet. It's and easy selling point if you ask me.
When I was 16 I used to work at an Exxon station near a Chevy dealership, and they would send new car buyers over with a voucher.

No such thing as a free lunch. Dealers used to sell cars with just a few gallons of gas in them. The first thing you had to do when you picked it up was to stop at a gas station. Then a few started filling the tanks, now all have to to compete but you are going to pay for it one way or another. Either with a gas charge or some other hidden charge. Like it or not that's how it is.

I was jsut reading in another post by 1956MarkII that the gas charge is something the factory charges the dealer to put "some" gas in the vehicle, and that's what is being passed on to the buyer. Not saying your wrong chasparham just using another source of information. Thanks for you info. I suppose it can be a combination of both.
