Starting at 24:00 on March 17, the domestic gasoline and diesel prices increased by 750 yuan and 720 yuan per ton respectively, corresponding to our local oil prices became 8.66 yuan per liter of No. 92 gasoline and 9.39 yuan per liter of No. 95 gasoline. If it is calculated with a 50-liter fuel tank, it will cost more than 30 yuan to fill a tank of oil.
Oil prices rose for the second time in March, filling a box of 92 needs to pay 30-40 yuan more
Entering March, as international crude oil prices have soared, the prices of refined oil products in various regions of the country have also risen rapidly. The most discussed topic among car owners is how to refuel is the most cost-effective, after all, gasoline as a must for cars, as long as driving must be used.
At noon on March 17, I saw a lot of people in the circle of friends posting pictures of themselves at the gas station, in the spirit of saving a little is the idea, although my fuel tank has not yet been finished, but still drive to the gas station that is often visited on weekdays. By 1 p.m., several fuel guns could already be seen in use, and several cars were waiting in line. After getting out of the car and walking around, I found that most car owners were directly full.
When chatting with a car owner, he said, "The Spring Festival returned to his hometown to add a tank of oil No. 92 only 358 yuan, and now after the price increase, it has become 403 yuan, and it has been checked before and after nearly 50 yuan." If you wait until the price rises and then add, the difference will come to 80 yuan, 80 yuan can be used to eat fast food for two days, take advantage of the time available at noon, how much can be added, and save money"
Then when I was refueling, I also talked to the staff twice, he said, "Now at noon, many people don't have time, so there are not many cars running to refuel, wait a while, once it is the evening rush hour, it is the busiest time period today."
Sure enough, when I left work at 6 p.m., I passed the gas station again and found that the vehicles lined up to refuel had come to the outside of the gas station.
So why did domestic refined oil prices suddenly increase rapidly? The first direct cause is undoubtedly that the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine has exacerbated the turmoil in Eastern Europe, causing market supply tensions, which in turn has led to a significant increase in crude oil prices. Secondly, the control measures of European and American countries for the epidemic have been further relaxed, industrial production activities are constantly recovering, and the market demand for gasoline has risen.
However, you don't have to worry too much about the unbridled rise in oil prices, because the current international market crude oil prices have dropped to about $100, although it is still at a high level, but compared with March 7, $139 per barrel has been a big drop. However, because the domestic oil price is adjusted every 10 working days. Each price adjustment is based on the comparison of the average international oil price in the 10 working days before the price adjustment and the average of the previous 10 working days, so after comprehensive calculation, March 17 is still an upward trend.
Oil prices rise to choose new energy vehicles, but the price of new energy vehicles is also soaring
The rise in oil prices, for consumers who have not yet bought a car, naturally wears out their mentality of buying fuel vehicles, coupled with the continuous implementation of electric vehicles in recent times, making many consumers more willing to choose new energy vehicles. According to statistics, from January to February this year, the sales of new energy vehicles nationwide reached 765,000 units, an obvious increase over last year. It can be seen that the rise in oil prices has accelerated the transformation of the market to the direction of new energy.
However, the rise in raw materials and the decline in subsidy concessions have also increased the average selling price of new energy vehicles. For example, the most popular Tesla Model 3 and Model Y in China have been adjusted twice in five days, taking the Model Y rear-wheel drive version as an example, the price of the car after the subsidy was only 276,000 yuan when it was just released last year, and after several price adjustments, it has now reached 316,900 yuan. In addition, the Great Wall Euler brand announced the discontinuation of the black cat and white cat models, citing the reason that the production capacity is not enough to meet the market demand. On March 15, BYD, a leading domestic new energy enterprise, announced that it would adjust the official guidance price of relevant new energy models, ranging from 3,000 to 6,000 yuan.
summary
The price of oil has risen, the price of electric vehicles has risen, and the pressure on the lives of the people can be said to be increasing. Now we can only hope that the market will return to normal as soon as possible and reduce our burden.
