[Explanation] At 24:00 on March 17th, the domestic refined oil price adjustment window will be opened again. In view of the recent sharp rise in international oil prices, analysts predict that domestic oil prices will increase accordingly, becoming the fifth increase in the year.
[Explanation] At present, the current domestic product oil pricing and price adjustment cycle is 10 working days, and the price adjustment range is calculated with reference to the average price of international crude oil during the pricing cycle.
Despite the recent drop in international crude oil prices, the average price is still at a high level. Therefore, domestic refined oil prices are likely to rise.

Our current domestic price adjustment cycle is from March 4th to March 17th. During this period, the international crude oil price once climbed to the highest point since July 2008, thus raising the average price of reference crude oil throughout the cycle. Therefore, it will eventually be reflected in our domestic market, that is, the price of refined oil will increase substantially.
[Explanation] According to the calculation of Jinlianchuang, as of March 17, the average price of the reference crude oil varieties in this round of price adjustment cycle was 111.67 US dollars per barrel, an increase of 13.35% compared with the previous cycle, and the corresponding domestic gasoline and diesel retail prices were increased by each 750 yuan per ton and 720 yuan per ton.

According to our adjustment this time, if we convert it into an increase in price to calculate, our domestic No. 89 gasoline price will increase by 0.56 yuan per liter, 92 gasoline will increase by 0.59 yuan per liter, and 95 gasoline will increase by 0.62 yuan per liter. Yuan, No. 0 diesel is up 0.61 yuan per liter.
Let's take the Beijing area as an example. No. 92 gasoline will rise from 8.05 yuan/liter to more than 8.6 yuan/liter. We calculate it by using an ordinary private car with a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. If you fill up a tank of No. 92 gasoline, you may need to It's about $30 more than before.
[Explanation] At noon on the 17th, the reporter saw at many gas stations in Beijing that many car owners came to refuel before the oil price adjustment, and some gas stations even lined up.

[Concurrent] Mr. Xu, a Beijing resident
You have to increase the money too, right? We don’t have any tricks for this. If you don’t refuel, you won’t be able to run the car. Point to this car to eat and support your family.
[Explanation] This round of oil price adjustment officially took effect at 24:00 on March 17. As long as car owners refuel on March 17, they can still enjoy the oil price before the adjustment.
