Since the beginning of this year, if you drive a private car, do you have the impression that oil prices are only rising and rising? The two rare declines were also "drizzle" of 4 cents a liter and 5 cents a liter, which was almost negligible.
Don't worry, the sharpest drop in oil prices this year is coming on May 15, that is, at 24 o'clock this Wednesday. This is also the first time this year that oil prices have ushered in "two consecutive declines".

According to Jinlianchuang's calculations, as of May 13, the average price of crude oil varieties referenced in domestic oil price adjustment was 81.73 US dollars / barrel, with a change rate of -4.88%, and the corresponding domestic gasoline and diesel retail prices should be reduced by 235 yuan / ton. When converted to a liter, the reduction is about two cents per liter. In other words, a private car with a capacity of 50 liters can save about 10 yuan by filling up a tank of fuel. The specific reduction will depend on the performance of international oil prices in the next two working days.
Many car owners may feel that the reduction of about two cents and one liter is not enjoyable. Statistics show that since the beginning of this year, the domestic oil price adjustment has experienced a total of "five up, two down and two stranded", taking No. 92 gasoline as an example, the largest increase is 0.16 yuan / liter, the time is January 3, January 31, April 1 and April 16, a total of 4 times; The two cuts occurred on January 17 and April 29, with reductions of 4 cents/litre and 5 cents/litre, respectively.

After the oil price was lowered at 24 o'clock on April 29, the current retail price of No. 92 gasoline in our province is 8.16 yuan/liter, No. 95 gasoline is 8.68 yuan/liter, and No. 0 diesel is 7.85 yuan/liter. This means that after the oil price is lowered on Wednesday night, the No. 92 gasoline in our province will most likely return to the "7" prefix.
Since the end of April, international oil prices have continued to fall, especially on May 1, New York crude oil futures fell by 3.42%, and Brent crude oil futures also fell by 3.19%. The reasons for the continuous decline in oil prices are the surge in U.S. commercial crude oil inventories in the previous week, and the continuation of ceasefire negotiations in the Gaza Strip, and the weakening of market concerns about crude oil supply.
At present, the price of crude oil futures in New York has fallen below $80 per barrel, and the latest price is around $78 per barrel, a decline of more than 10% compared with the highest point this year (appeared in mid-April) of about $87 per barrel; Brent crude oil futures are also approaching the $80 per barrel mark, down more than 10% from the highest price this year.
