Drivers should take note and fill up their tanks as soon as possible. The 18th fuel price adjustment of the year is set to take place at 24:00 on Friday, September 11th. This adjustment is driven by a rapid increase in risk premiums within the crude oil market, fueled by escalating geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East and heightened shipping risks in the Strait of Hormuz.
This week has witnessed a substantial surge in both international and domestic crude oil prices. As of the 8th working day of the calculation period, it is projected that gasoline and diesel prices will increase by 280 yuan per ton and 270 yuan per ton, respectively.
When translated to terminal retail prices at gas stations, this means an estimated increase of 0.22 yuan per liter for 92-octane gasoline, 0.24 yuan per liter for 95-octane gasoline, and 0.23 yuan per liter for 0-diesel. Following this adjustment, filling a standard 50-liter tank will cost drivers an additional 11-12 yuan.
The final adjustment price for this round will be announced by the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC). It is crucial to note that the increases mentioned here are only institutional forecasts and predictions; the final adjustment magnitude is subject to official release.
