Update: Krispy Kreme will have a donut offer every Wednesday through May 4. The price of a dozen will change.

After record high gasoline prices in March, there is finally relief at the pumps.

And some restaurant chains and gas stations have new limited-time offers in an effort to provide additional relief from high prices and inflation.

Starting Wednesday and every Wednesday through May 4, Krispy Kreme is offering a dozen original glazed donuts for the price of a gallon of gas, which it calls “donut deflation.”

For April 13, the price is $4.11 and the price will be “based on the national average price of a gallon of regular gasoline in the United States on Monday at the start of the week,” the company said.

There is a limit of two dozen at the promotional price at participating stores nationwide at the drive-thru and for pickup when ordering online and through the Krispy Kreme app.

“As Americans grapple with the rising PPG – price per gallon – of gasoline, we are lowering our PPOG – price per Original Glaze,” Krispy Kreme chief marketing officer Dave Skena said in a statement. “Inflation and high gas prices are serious and force families to make difficult trade-offs. … A dozen original glazed donuts for the price of a gallon of gas will help our fans make midweek a little sweeter for their friends and family.

Krispy Kreme said he will alert fans to the award weekly by posting it on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Krispykreme.com/offers/beatthepump.
