Summary
A TikTok user, Zoey Granitz, shared a video showing how she allegedly took advantage of a Circle K promotion that offers a discount on gas after getting a car wash. She claims that she selected the most expensive car wash option, $16, and then got a discount of $0.30 per gallon on gas. However, it’s unclear if the promotion is actually enforced through physical checks or if it’s just a clever workaround.

The habit gets a new name.
Zoey Granitz’s “hack” is really just a clever observation about how some promotions might not be enforced. She’s not actually getting a free car wash, but rather using the system to her advantage. The real question is, is it worth paying $16 for a car wash to save $0.30 per gallon on gas?
The answer is probably not, considering the average car holds 14 gallons of gasoline and the total savings would be around $4.20.
It’s just another example of how “hacks” and “tricks” can be oversold and not actually save you money in the long run.
And let’s be real, if you’re paying $16 for a car wash, you’re probably not exactly pinching pennies.
The real trick is just being honest with yourself about what you’re actually saving.
