International oil prices continue to rise; domestic oil prices are expected to see the largest increase in four years next Monday: an extra 27 yuan per tank

SmartTech, March 7 — Wake up to find international oil prices surging again.

NYMEX crude oil futures closed at $91.27 per barrel, up 12.67%; Brent crude futures closed at $93.32 per barrel, up 9.26%.

Currently, both major international crude oil benchmarks have surpassed $90, reaching their highest levels in nearly two and a half years. This sharp fluctuation will directly impact domestic consumers’ fuel expenses.

On Monday, March 9 at 24:00, the domestic fuel price adjustment window will open. Due to the continuous rise in international oil prices during this adjustment cycle, domestic fuel prices will see their largest adjustment in recent years, with an increase of over five cents per liter.

According to professional agency Jinlianchuang’s analysis, by March 9, the retail price of refined oil in China is expected to increase by more than 600 yuan per ton. Converted to per-liter prices, the increase will be between 0.48 and 0.50 yuan.

As international oil prices surged again at the latest trading session, an increase of more than five cents per liter seems almost certain. If the increase exceeds 600 yuan per ton, it will set a new four-year-high single adjustment record.

For many car owners, this means a significant rise in fuel costs. Based on a typical 70-liter tank, refueling will cost about 27 yuan more than before the price adjustment.

This strong rebound in oil prices not only directly raises daily expenses for private car owners but also triggers a chain reaction in transportation and logistics costs. Citizens needing to refuel are advised to fill up their tanks before the price adjustment window opens next Monday.
