Gas prices are up AGAIN, but help is here: Grab your 40 cent discount at Circle K TODAY

May 7, 2026, 10:42 AM

Look, I get it. Between the endless carpool lines and the price of snacks for two kiddos who seem to eat their weight in goldfish crackers every hour, my wallet is feeling the burn of these gas prices, too.

If you’re anything like me, you’re currently doing that awkward “how far can I push this needle?” dance before you finally pull into the pump. Well, listen up, Denver: I’ve got some good news to make your Thursday afternoon a little less painful.

Circle K is hosting a “Fuel Day” event this Thursday, May 7. If you head to a participating location between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. local time, you can snag up to 40 cents off per gallon.

Yes, you read that right. Forty cents. That’s basically the price of a fancy coffee I won’t get to finish anyway because someone needs a nap.

Whether you’re commuting home from the office or just trying to get the kids to soccer practice without running on fumes, this is a solid win. Circle K is rolling this out at over 5,000 stores nationwide, so keep an eye out for that neon sign while you’re driving around our beautiful Colorado streets.

Just a friendly reminder: check the app or the store locator online before you drive halfway across town. Nobody wants to spend their gas savings on actual gas just to find out they’re at the wrong station.
