In September just past, fuel prices rose twice in a row, pushing 95-octane gasoline back into the "9 yuan era." The next round of fuel price adjustments is scheduled for 24:00 on October 15.

Currently, the crude oil change rate has reached around -4%, with an estimated price cut of 210 yuan per ton. Based on the current decline, it is predicted that the next gasoline and diesel prices will drop by 0.16 yuan per liter to 0.19 yuan per liter. The next fuel price adjustment may see a renewed decline.

Friendly reminder: The current figures are only periodic forecast data, and the final price adjustment result is subject to the notice from the National Development and Reform Commission on October 15. Those who have no long-distance travel plans and have a full tank can hold off on refueling until after the October 15 adjustment to save a bit on fuel costs. Those driving during the National Day holiday or with low fuel levels need not wait stubbornly — refuel as needed to avoid running out of gas midway.
