MILWAUKEE (AP) - Two magic words are turning consumers' heads lately. Not "Get rich" or "Lose weight." Try "Free gas." Businesses from banks and hotels to golf-club makers and blood-donation centers are offering promotions that involve free gas—generating more attention and goodwill from price-stunned drivers than traditional promotions might deliver.

So far I've heard of free or reduced price gas for Dodge and some boat dealer I heard on the radio yesterday. That's the new gimmick.

Wow, this is definitely a sign of the times.

Instead of buy one en tree, get the other free at the local pub & grill it'll be buy one en tree, get two gallons of gas.

On second thought that might NOT be a good ploy for the local pub. I can see the news now: "first they liquored John up and then bought him the gas he used to run the family down" after a fatal wreck! Not a good move...
