Corpus Christi gas prices hold near $3.85 while diesel eases to $4.88
Corpus Christi’s latest AAA check puts regular gasoline at $3.853 a gallon and diesel at $4.880. Regular is basically flat from yesterday but sharply higher than last week; diesel is slightly lower on the day and a bit cheaper than a week ago.
Corpus Christi drivers got a mixed read from AAA’s April 30 fuel check: regular gasoline is $3.853 a gallon, basically unchanged from yesterday but up 38.5 cents from last week. Diesel is $4.880, down 3.1 cents from yesterday and 5.1 cents from a week ago.
For regular gas, the jump is still big enough for commuters to notice. AAA shows it is 40.9 cents higher than a month ago and $1.23 above a year ago. Diesel has eased a little, but it remains expensive compared with last spring, up $2.044 from a year ago.
On the local comparison sheet, Corpus Christi regular is essentially tied with the Texas average of $3.852 and well below the U.S. average of $4.300. Diesel is below both the Texas average of $4.978 and the national average of $5.351, which gives contractors, delivery drivers, restaurants, and other fuel-heavy businesses a small edge locally even after the recent run-up.
That split matters at the pump. Households and weekend travelers are feeling the higher regular-gas bill first, while diesel users may see a bit of relief compared with last week. If you are filling up for work, errands, or a spring trip, it still makes sense to shop around before you top off.
