Gas station chain Circle K announces an unusual Christmas campaign on Thursday. They are lowering the pump price of petrol and diesel by two crowns on Thursday afternoon.
Offer applies to serviced stations, not vending machines.
– We do it in the darkest time of the year because we want to please our customers. We know December can be very busy for many, there is a lot to shop before Christmas, so we hope customers enjoy our little extra offer this Thursday afternoon, says Knut Hilmar Hansen, Head of Communications at Circle K in a press release .
Stations dress up in “Happy Hour” attire.
On the same day, news arrives that the fuel tax will be removed from New Year’s Eve.
In total, fuel taxes in road traffic for most people are reduced by NOK 600 million. If the reduction in mineral oil taxes is also taken into account, the total reduction is around NOK 2.2 billion after taking into account the increase in CO2 taxes.
– Fuel prices have risen sharply through 2022. Many households and businesses are facing high fuel prices as a major challenge. The reduction in fuel taxes helps make everyday life a little easier for households and businesses, and will mean a lot especially for the construction industry, says Finance Minister Trygve Slagsvold Vedum (SP).
