In September, fuel prices climbed twice in a row, pushing 95-octane gasoline back into the "9-yuan era." The next price adjustment is set for October 15 at midnight.

Currently, the international crude oil change rate has already exceeded -3.20%, pointing to a drop of 0.17 to 0.20 yuan per liter for gasoline and diesel, equivalent to a reduction of 220 yuan per ton. After two consecutive increases in September, October may see fuel prices fall again.

However, it is worth noting that international oil prices shifted during the holiday period, which could somewhat shrink the expected decline. A friendly reminder: these are only mid-cycle forecast figures, and the final adjustment will be subject to the notice from the National Development and Reform Commission on October 15. Drivers who have no long-distance travel plans and a full tank can hold off on refueling until after the October 15 adjustment to save a little on fuel costs.

Those planning road trips for the National Day holiday or running low on fuel need not wait, and should refuel as needed to avoid running out on the road. Share this to let more people know!
