A popular gas station chain is offering drivers in states across the Southeast an opportunity to save money on fuel this week.

Members of Circle K’s rewards program, Inner Circle, can get a discount of up to 40 cents off per gallon at about 2,500 participating locations in North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi.

“Inner Circle is all about providing real value and engaging experiences for our customers,” Brian Bednarz, a senior vice president of operations at Circle K, said in a news release.

As of Tuesday, March 11, the average price of a gallon of regular gasoline in North Carolina was $2.74.

This is not the first time Circle K has offered gas discounts for drivers. One day in November, drivers could save up to 40 cents per gallon at more than 5,000 stations across the country, including in North Carolina.

Here’s what to know about the discounts.

Where and when can Circle K rewards members get discounts?

The fuel discounts are available at participating Circle K locations from 6 a.m.-11:59 p.m. on Inner Circle Fuel Day, which is Thursday, March 13.

Circle K, Arko and Bp are among the companies that have offered drivers discounts on gas in recent months.
