I'm in a somewhat similar situation. I leased a 2006 Pontiac G6 GTP back in Aug '05 and now its lease is coming up in Aug '08. I already have my '09 SRT8 on order... but it probably won't arrive until October or so.

I'll be trying to see if GM will allow me to go a few more months on my lease, which I believe they'll do. Otherwise I'll be having an issue. You may want to check with your dealer to see if they'll let you do that - I believe it's a common practice if you just need a month or two more.

As for the gas incentive -- forget about it. All Challengers (Even SE and R/T) are exempt from the Gas Incentive program. So you won't be able to utilize that. Float your lease a few more months so you can still utilize your loyalty program and you should then be all set.
