Since the year

You drive a private car

Do you have the impression that oil prices are only going up and down?

A rare two declines

It's also 4 cents a liter

5 cents a liter of "drizzle"

Almost negligible

Hold your horses

The sharpest drop in oil prices this year has come

The time is May 15th

That is, this Wednesday at 24 o'clock

This is also the beginning of this year

Oil prices ushered in "two consecutive declines" for the first time

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.

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%.
