When do oil prices adjust each year?
Actually, it's a technical issue
Oil price adjustments are not an interim notice
Mainland oil product prices
It is adjusted according to the international crude oil price
The adjustment cycle is every 10 working days
Therefore, just know the date of the first price adjustment every year,
You can calculate other price adjustment times!
When the average price of the first 10 working days of the price adjustment is less than 50 yuan per ton compared with the average price of the 10 working days of the previous price adjustment, according to the provisions of the "Petroleum Price Management Measures", the price of gasoline and diesel will not be adjusted, and the unadjusted amount will be added up or offset at the time of the next price adjustment.
But when international crude oil prices plummeted
Or when it skyrockets to a certain extent
Domestic refined oil prices will be affected
"Ceiling" and "Floor" restrictions
The international crude oil price is capped at $130/barrel
The lower limit is $40/barrel
So why does the mainland have to set the upper and lower limits?
The upper limit is set to safeguard the interests of car owners and consumers and avoid excessive increases; the lower limit is set to maintain the normal operation of upstream and downstream enterprises in the oil industry and ensure normal market supply.
Therefore, after the first price adjustment at the beginning of each year, the time of the annual oil price adjustment has been calculated, and the oil price adjustment time for the whole year of 2022 is as follows
So how can the owners of Jing'an refuel and save money the most?
Save money on refueling habits
In the past, it was said that refueling in the early morning or at night was the most economical, considering the thermal expansion and contraction, when refueling in the early morning or at night, the same volume of oil was added more than at noon. This was true in the early days, but the oil depots of modern gas stations, as professional storage areas, are equipped with thermostatic control system, so this phenomenon is basically not happening now.
In fact, the best way is to stagger the peak refueling and avoid centralized queuing. When the owner of the car concentrates on refueling, it will appear in the morning, the gas station will line up in a long line, the car will stop and go, the waste of fuel will not be said, and the carbon deposit will be generated for a long time.
In addition, some private car owners use cars, usually wait until the fuel meter lights are on before they think of refueling, which is not a good habit. The oil lamp is already on, indicating that the oil level is lower than the oil pump, which is likely to shorten the life of the oil pump in the long run. Therefore, it is recommended to refuel when the fuel gauge shows that 1/4 of the oil is left.
Save money from apps and promotions
In the mobile app store
Search for the word "come on."
A large number of refueling software and preferential software will come into view
These APPS, Mini Programs or public accounts have their own preferential methods, some are single activities, the strength is larger, but there is no discount in the later stage; some are discounts that can be used for a long time, and you need to carefully read the discount methods when installing and using.
Among them, the "ShenGong Society" of the Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions launched the kaka "cheer up and benefit" subsidy activity of 0.2 yuan / liter cheaply, which has accumulated 79,285 trade union members since its launch in August 2019, with a rebate of 11.64 million yuan! The deadline for this refueling promotion is now directly extended to July 31, 2023.

Anyone who binds the trade union member service card held by himself or herself to the WeChat public account of the "Shengong Society" and applies for the registration of a Sinopec personal named fuel card issued in Shanghai, the card can get a rebate of 0.20 yuan / liter per month from the month of application, and superimpose the concession price station listing discount.
Save money from discounted gas stations
Some gas stations themselves have cheaper oil prices
There are also fixed refueling and profiteering activities
How do I search?
Open the navigation software, search for gas stations, not only the surrounding gas stations will be displayed, preferential gas stations will be displayed in the column, after clicking on, you can see the surrounding and even the city's preferential gas stations. And these navigation software also have coupons for designated gas stations for car owners to choose from.
At last
Remind Jing'an car owners friends
Drive around the city
Try not to fill the oil too full
Commuting is during peak periods, and full tanks of oil will increase the load and increase fuel consumption when walking and stopping. In urban areas where gas stations are more dense, refueling is very convenient, it is recommended to add half or two-thirds of it.
In addition, if the vehicle does not drive much at a certain stage, do not fill up with oil to park, and keep the amount of oil at a low level. Considering the temperature and storage environment, gasoline is easy to deteriorate over time, and even produce sediment. The loss of gasoline is small, and it may damage the car, and it is more than worth the loss.
