Will Venezuelan oil affect US gas prices?
President Donald Trump has said big oil companies will spend billions of dollars in Venezuela, but experts say gas prices are unlikely to change anytime soon.
Circle K wants to help you with your post-holiday shopping budget and help you take a break from your next gas station visit.
Circle K, which has more than 5,000 convenience stores in 29 states, will offer 40 cents off a gallon on Thursday, January 15th to members of its Inner Circle Loyalty Program. Trading is possible from 12:00 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. local time on the same day.
To qualify for the Inner Circle Fuel Day sale, customers must enter the phone number associated with their Inner Circle account at the gas station or in-store prior to checkout. (Up to 35 gallons available at participating Circle K Fuel locations. One-time use.)
“Every penny counts, especially as our customers recover from their holiday spending and are looking for ways to save smartly and start the year,” Louise Warner, Circle K’s executive vice president of North America, said in a news release. “Fuel Day is a meaningful way to give back and reward Inner Circle members by helping them save on essentials.”
Circle K has been offering regular 40-cent discount Fuel Day promotions in commemoration of the return to school in August 2025 and in advance of holidays such as Memorial Day and Labor Day.
