Cricket Fills Up Albuquerque’s Gas Tanks
Albuquerque, New Mexico – September 13, 2006 – It will soon be much cheaper for Albuquerque families to fill up their gas tanks, thanks to Cricket Communications, Inc, a leading provider of unlimited wireless services. The company announced today that they will fill the first one hundred families’ gas tanks with up to 15 gallons of regular unleaded gasoline for free from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. at area gas stations in Albuquerque, New Mexico on Thursday, September 14.
The company will repeat the free gas promotion on Friday, September 15 at a location that will be announced tomorrow afternoon.
The free gas is part of a 4-state promotion to celebrate the 16th of September. Cities in the border states of New Mexico, Texas, California, and Arizona are participating this week. No purchase is necessary and it does not matter what phone service you use.
“We’re celebrating freedom,” said Lisa Stankus, District Director for Cricket in Albuquerque and Santa Fe. “Cricket is built on a foundation of freedom - the freedom to communicate whenever you want for as long as you want for one low affordable monthly price. Gas prices are unpredictable, limiting travel. We thought filling up someone’s tank for about the predictable cost of Cricket’s monthly wireless service, is a good way to celebrate freedom.”
The 16th of September is celebrated throughout the United States and Mexico because 3 centuries ago – on September 16, 1810, Mexico won its independence from Spanish rule.
