According to the refined oil pricing rules, the next fuel price adjustment will take place at 24:00 on October 15 (next Thursday).
The current round of fuel price movements has been full of twists and turns. International oil prices plunged more than 4% on Thursday, and although international crude rebounded slightly yesterday, a downward adjustment is still expected for this round.
Today's Fuel Price Rise and Fall Forecast
On October 10, the sixth statistical day of the cycle, gasoline and diesel are expected to be cut by 225 yuan per ton and 215 yuan per ton, respectively. Converted to retail prices, No. 92 gasoline is expected to fall by 0.18 yuan per liter, No. 95 gasoline by 0.19 yuan per liter, and No. 0 diesel by 0.19 yuan per liter. The current estimated reduction exceeds 0.15 yuan per liter, making a downward adjustment highly likely this round and potentially bringing an end to the previous three consecutive increases.
A Look Back at This Year's Fuel Price Trends
In 2026, there are a total of 25 price adjustment windows, with 19 already implemented and 6 remaining. The year so far has seen 13 increases, 1 suspension, and 5 decreases, with more rises than falls overall. Gasoline and diesel prices have accumulated an increase of nearly 2,300 yuan per ton, equivalent to a rise of 1.89 to 2.03 yuan per liter. Filling a 50-liter tank now costs 90 to 100 yuan more than at the start of the year.
Current National Average Fuel Reference Prices
At present, the national average reference price for No. 92 gasoline stands at 8.59 yuan per liter, No. 95 gasoline at 9.17 yuan per liter, and No. 0 diesel at 8.27 yuan per liter.
