Fuel up your body and your car with Krispy Kreme's newest promotion that taps into national gas prices.

The doughnut chain is running a promotion for the next month starting on April 13. You'll be able to buy a dozen of its original glazed donuts for whatever the national average of a gallon of gas is.

The price changes every Wednesday for the next four weeks, but it will start at $4.11. You can only get the price if you go to the donut store, the drive-thru, or an online pickup.

“While Americans deal with the rising PPG – price per gallon – of gasoline, we’re lowering our PPOG – price per Original Glaze,” said Chief Marketing Officer Dave Skena via a press release.

“Inflation and high gasoline prices are serious and forcing families to make tough tradeoffs. We know that despite the high gas prices people have to be out and about anyway. So, for the next several Wednesdays, we hope providing a little doughnut deflation will allow them to share some smiles during a difficult time. A dozen Original Glazed Doughnuts for the price of a gallon of gas will help our fans make midweek a little sweeter for their friends and family.”

Krispy Kreme will alert fans to the price by posting it on its social media platforms -- Facebook, Instagram and Twitter -- as well as at www.krispykreme.com/offers/beatthepump.
