Motorists should prepare for another increase at the pump as the 18th fuel price adjustment of the year is scheduled for 11:00 PM on September 11th. According to the domestic refined oil product pricing cycle, the 18th adjustment window will open at that time, with the current statistical period for this round already 90% complete.

Today's Price Adjustment Forecast: The latest calculations, based on data from the 9th working day as of September 10th, project an increase of 340 yuan per tonne for gasoline and 330 yuan per tonne for diesel. Converted to retail prices, this translates to a rise of 0.27 yuan per liter for 92-octane gasoline, 0.29 yuan per liter for 95-octane gasoline, and 0.28 yuan per liter for 0-diesel. For a typical 50-liter fuel tank, filling up will cost an additional 13.5 to 14.5 yuan.

Currently, the national average reference prices for fuel are as follows: 92-octane gasoline at 8.07 yuan per liter, 95-octane gasoline at 8.61 yuan per liter, and 0-diesel at 7.73 yuan per liter.

A friendly reminder: with prices potentially rising at 11:00 PM on September 11th, drivers of fuel-powered vehicles are advised to fill up their tanks before the adjustment to save on travel expenses. (The projected increases are based solely on institutional estimates; the final adjustment will be subject to official announcements.)
