Affected by the situation in the Middle East, international crude oil futures prices recorded their largest weekly increase this week since records began in 1983 and 1991. According to Zhuochuang Information’s calculations, as of the close of trading on March 6, the reference crude oil change rate was 15.12%.It is expected that at 24:00 on March 9, domestic retail prices of gasoline and diesel will increase by 695 and 670 yuan/ton respectively.
At discounted prices, No. 92 gasoline, No. 95 gasoline, and No. 0 diesel were increased by 0.55, 0.58, and 0.57 yuan respectively. This increase is the largest increase since 24:00 on March 17, 2022.
After this round of oil price increases is implemented, No. 92 gasoline may approach or exceed 7.5 yuan/liter in most areas across the country. In some areas, No. 95 gasoline will officially enter the "8 yuan era."Filling up a 50L tank of No. 92 gasoline in a private car will cost an extra 27.5 yuan.
Because oil prices are about to rise, car owners have begun to take advantage of the price increase. Netizens in many places have taken pictures of long queues at gas stations.
Netizens joked: "Is it faster to refuel or charge faster now?", "If oil prices rise again, electric cars will sell better", "I deeply feel the impact of world conflicts on us ordinary people, and I order the Middle East to stop fighting."
