Save 40 cents per gallon at Circle K on May 7. Here's how
With the continuing clamor over rising gas prices , here's a timely deal: Circle K is cutting gas prices by 40 cents on Thursday, May 7.
Circle K , which has more than 5,000 convenience stores in 29 states, is giving customers up to 40 cents off each gallon of fuel on May 7 as part of its National Fuel Day event. You can get the discount from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. local time at participating locations. The discount is good on all fuel types.
Members of its Inner Circle loyalty program can get the deal sooner, starting Thursday at 12:01 a.m. and until 3 p.m. local time. The discount of up to 40 cents is in accordance with applicable state law. In Wisconsin, for example, customers can save up to $4.50 on a minimum purchase of 3 gallons, according to Circle K.
Another reason to become an Inner Circle member: The Fuel Your Summer Sweepstakes, which gives you a chance to win one of 250 Circle K gift cards – each worth $315 to help pay for your gasoline this summer. Winners will be selected weekly through July 4. For more information and to enter, go to the Circle K website .
The events are part of Circle K's celebration of the nation's 250th birthday . Also part of the promotion are $2.50 budget car washes and $2.50 meal deals: a Roller Grill item paired with a Polar Pop or 7.5-ounce Coca-Cola brand beverage (both deals good all summer long).

"At Circle K, every visit counts, and this summer, we're showing up with real, tangible savings across fuel, food and more to make every stop a little more affordable for the people who count on us."
The discount comes as the national average for a gallon of gas approaches $5.
