Fuel Price Adjustment Alert: Midnight Adjustment Could Push Costs Higher

Deep News09-10 17:01

The upcoming fuel price adjustment is scheduled for September 11th at 24:00, marking the 18th adjustment of the year, with expectations of a significant increase of nearly 0.30 yuan per liter by tomorrow evening.

Following the last increase of over 0.29 yuan per liter, 2026 has witnessed 11 price hikes so far, compared to only 5 reductions. Over the first eight months of this year, fuel prices have surged more than 1.32 yuan per liter, adding to the mounting cost pressures.

With international crude prices climbing over 3.25% again at the close of trading this morning, the anticipated hike has grown even steeper. The crude oil change rate has now hit 5.89%, projecting an increase of 330 yuan per ton. Based on this trajectory, gasoline and diesel prices are expected to rise by 0.25 to 0.30 yuan per liter tomorrow evening.

With less than 48 hours remaining before the price adjustment, September 12th will bring the new, higher prices into effect. After tomorrow night's rise, the cost for 95-octane gasoline is approaching the edge of the '9-yuan era'.

Currently, 95-octane gasoline has already reached 8.60 yuan per liter in most regions following the last hike. With an additional increase of nearly 0.30 yuan per liter tomorrow, the price is set to edge dangerously close to the 9 yuan per liter benchmark.
