Fiat offers cut-price fuel for three years to Italian buyers

The offer, running through June and July, only applies to Fiat cars bought in Italy, and does not apply to other marques in the group, which include Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Maserati and Ferrari.

Under the deal, buyers will receive a smart card enabling them to buy a quantity of petrol or diesel at the cut price, depending on the model purchased, from 4,500 litres of petrol for the new Freemont SUV to 1,200 for a small Panda.

The cards are valid in any of the some 4,200 IP filling stations in Italy for three years from the date of acquiring the car.

Petrol prices are hovering around two euros a litre in Italy, having just been increased by two cents to help pay for reconstructing areas in the northeast of the country hard hit by two earthquakes last month.
