CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Despite the rising cost of gas, drivers can still find ways to save money at the pump.

Experts suggest downloading apps like Waze or GasBuddy to find the cheapest fuel near you. Drivers can also use a credit card that earns at least 3% cash back on gas.

AAA says it is important to find savings now before prices climb even higher.

"Springtime is when you've got spring break travelers. You've got gasoline demand going up. The weather's getting nicer," AAA spokesperson Aixa Diaz said.
