US gas prices rise despite oil supplies
Gas prices in the United States rose significantly despite being one of the world’s leading oil producing countries. See how the attack on Iran affected oil infrastructure around the world.
The deal is timely as the uproar over soaring gas prices continues. Circle K will reduce gas prices by 40 cents on Thursday, May 7th.
Circle K, which has more than 5,000 convenience stores in 29 states, will offer customers up to 40 cents off per gallon of fuel on May 7 as part of its National Fuel Day event. Discounts are available at participating stores from 4pm to 7pm local time. Discounts apply on all fuel types.
Members of the Inner Circle loyalty program can get their deals sooner, starting Thursday from 12:01 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. local time. Discounts of up to 40 cents are subject to applicable state law. In Wisconsin, for example, Circle K says customers can save up to $4.50 on a minimum three-gallon purchase.
Another reason to become an Inner Circle member is the Fuel Your Summer sweepstakes. You will have a chance to win one of 250 Circle K gift cards. Each ticket is worth $315 and will help you pay for gas this summer. Winners will be chosen weekly through July 4th. For more information and to apply, visit the Circle K website.
These events are part of Circle K’s 250th anniversary celebrations. Also included as part of the promotion is a $2.50 budget car wash and a $2.50 meal deal. Pair your roller grill with a Polar Pop or a 7.5-ounce Coca-Cola brand beverage (both are great deals all summer long).
“America turns 250 only once, but our commitment to delivering real value to our customers continues every day,” Louise Warner, Circle K’s executive vice president of North American operations, said in a news release. “At Circle K, every visit counts and we will show real, tangible savings on fuel, food and more to make every visit a little more affordable for the people who rely on us this summer.”
The discount comes as the national average for a gallon of gas approaches $5.
Circle K has offered regular 40-cent Fuel Day promotions throughout the year, including before holidays such as Memorial Day, Labor Day and Thanksgiving.
