In the past when I complained about it not being enough, I was told the amount is based off of the CPI...like groceries and goods.

Has the price of anything gone down?

How about a study resolution?

Ema based on:
-67 cents a mile
-Purchase price of a 2025 Jeep RHD Wrangler
-Commercial maintenance schedule of said Wrangler
-Average price of a Chrysler dealership repairs on all said maintenance
-Average cost of fuel
-Usage rates pulled from national general

Average that out to a per mile cost to own and operate.

When I started, the incentive was 15% of the purchase price. Which today says the incentive should be $10,500.00 How about we get that adjusted as well?
