Attention, car owners in Zhuhai! At 24:00 on October 29 (tomorrow), domestic refined oil prices will usher in a new round of adjustment. What is the latest fuel price forecast? Let's take a look together.
On October 28, the ninth working day of the statistical cycle, according to institutional forecasts, gasoline and diesel prices will be raised by 395 yuan per ton and 380 yuan per ton respectively. Converted to each fuel type, No. 92 gasoline will rise by 0.32 yuan per liter, No. 95 gasoline will rise by 0.34 yuan per liter, and No. 0 diesel will rise by 0.33 yuan per liter.
A friendly reminder: the current data is only a forecast for the cycle, and the final adjustment result of this round of fuel prices shall be subject to the official announcement by the National Development and Reform Commission. If this round of price increases lands as expected, domestic fuel prices may directly surpass the April high and hit a new high in recent years. Car owners with travel plans are advised to reasonably arrange their refueling time. It is recommended to save the 2026 fuel price adjustment calendar.
Fuel-Saving Tips
In addition, in order to help car owners save some money on fuel, here is a summary of the five reasons that cause high car fuel consumption. Let's take a look together.
Sudden Acceleration and Frequent Braking While Driving
Some car owners say that when they slam on the accelerator or brake suddenly, they feel an inexplicable thrill and think it is cool. But this approach is highly inadvisable. It not only leads to high fuel consumption but also makes personal safety impossible to guarantee. Starting, accelerating, and shifting gears at a normal pace can save a considerable amount of fuel over time. When driving on the road, unless necessary, it is best not to overtake frequently. Driving at a constant speed is what reduces fuel consumption.
Engine Carbon Deposition
After a car has been driven for a long time, fuel consumption will gradually increase. In fact, the problem may lie with the engine. During the combustion process, gasoline inevitably produces carbon deposits and sludge. If these deposits and sludge are not cleaned in time, they will cause fuel consumption to rise. Cleaning engine carbon deposits promptly is very important.
Abnormal Tire Pressure or Switching to Larger-Size Tires
When tires are under-inflated, fuel consumption will be affected. When tire pressure is too low, the contact area between the tires and the ground increases, driving resistance becomes greater, and the vehicle naturally uses more fuel. Of course, if the owner inflates the tires too much or switches to tires that are too narrow, it will increase the possibility of tire blowouts, uneven tire wear, and reduced driving comfort.
Turning Off the Engine During Brief Stops
When encountering unexpected situations during a trip, some car owners choose to stop briefly and turn off the engine, while others choose to idle in place. Both methods may seem fuel-efficient but are actually fuel-wasting. If the engine is turned off during a brief stop, the engine temperature will slowly drop, and restarting will lead to incomplete fuel combustion, resulting in relatively high fuel consumption. If idling in place, the engine does no work and produces no mileage, so the fuel consumed is simply wasted. There is no need to turn off the engine for one or two minutes. If the time exceeds 5 minutes or even longer, it is recommended to stop and turn off the engine, which is more fuel-efficient.
Unnecessary Added Load on the Vehicle
Many car owners like to decorate their cars by adding body kits, spoilers, winches, and roof racks, or putting two boxes of water in the trunk. Blindly adding burden to the car will increase fuel consumption. Every additional unit of weight increases fuel consumption accordingly. Therefore, it is recommended that car owners decorate their cars within a reasonable range and reduce the load when appropriate.
The most important thing for saving fuel is to maintain good driving habits, minimize sudden acceleration and braking, drive at an economical speed, avoid idling for more than 10 minutes, and avoid long-distance driving at low speeds. By doing these things, you can basically achieve the goal of saving fuel! Share and forward to more people!
