In recent years, my country's automobile production and sales have been very large. Our country has been the country with the largest automobile production and sales in the world for more than ten consecutive years, and the corresponding amount of car maintenance is also increasing.
According to statistics from the Ministry of Public Security, as of the end of 2021, the number of motor vehicles in the country has reached 395 million, of which the number of cars has reached 302 million. my country has surpassed the United States to become the country with the largest number of cars in the world (according to data from Experian Automotive It shows that as of the third quarter of 2021, the number of cars in the United States exceeded 280 million).
However, in the context of increasing car ownership, oil prices are also getting higher and higher.
Especially since March 2020, international oil prices have continued to rise. At its peak, international crude oil prices reached around US$130. Although oil prices have fallen back recently, they still fluctuate between US$100 and US$110.
At present, my country's oil prices are linked to international crude oil prices, with 10 working days as a cycle. Within 10 working days, if the average price changes significantly compared with the previous cycle, the corresponding domestic refined oil will Increase or decrease.
So we have seen that against the backdrop of rising international crude oil prices, domestic refined oil products have also experienced multiple increases in recent times.
Since entering 2022, domestic refined oil products have experienced eight increases and one decrease. Compared with the end of 2021, the cumulative increase in domestic gasoline prices has exceeded 1,780 yuan per ton, which translates into an increase of about 1.34 yuan per liter of engine oil.
However, my country’s current refined oil prices do not implement a national unified price. Because transportation costs and operating costs vary from place to place, the oil prices in each province are not the same. Even in the same province, there will be some differences in prices in different cities. .
Which province in my country currently has the highest oil price? Which province has the lowest gas prices? Let’s take stock of the oil price performance of various provinces across the country.
Let’s first look at the oil prices in various provinces in mainland China.
The chart below shows the latest price performance of refined oil products in various provinces after the adjustment of refined oil products on April 28.
Judging from the current performance of oil prices in various provinces, the highest prices for No. 92 gasoline and No. 95 gasoline are in Hainan Province, where they reach about 9.57 yuan and 10.17 yuan per liter respectively. In addition, the No. 92 gasoline in Tibet is about 9.33 yuan, and the No. 95 gasoline reaches 9.87 yuan. Yuan or so.
The reason why oil prices in these two provinces are relatively high is because they have special circumstances. On the one hand, Tibet is relatively remote and the transportation cost of refined oil is relatively high, so the high prices are normal.
The reason why the oil price in Hainan Province is relatively high is because all highways in Hainan Province are currently free. The free highways have been calculated into the oil price, so the oil price is higher than in other provinces.
Except for Hainan and Tibet, the province with the highest price of No. 92 gasoline is currently Yunnan Province, with a price of about 8.61 yuan per liter; while the lowest price of No. 92 gasoline is in Shaanxi, with a price of only 8.34 yuan per liter of No. 92 gasoline.
html The most expensive No. 195 gasoline is in Yunnan Province, reaching about 9.2 yuan per liter, and the lowest is in Shaanxi Province, which is only about 8.81 yuan per liter.
html The most expensive No. 198 gasoline is in Heilongjiang Province, reaching 10.28 yuan per liter, and the lowest is in Gansu The province is only 9.61 yuan per liter;
html No. 10 diesel is the most expensive in Guizhou Province, reaching 8.25 yuan per liter, and the cheapest is Heilongjiang Province, with only 7.98 yuan per liter.
Let’s take a look at the oil prices in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.
Against the background of rising global crude oil prices, oil prices have increased significantly in many places in the past two years, including price increases in Europe and the United States, and in my country's Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan regions.
Let’s take a look at the current oil prices in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.
, Hong Kong oil prices.
The current price of fresh gasoline in Hong Kong reaches 22.74 Hong Kong dollars per liter, which is about 19.45 yuan per liter;
In addition, the price of super gasoline is 23.93 Hong Kong dollars per liter, which is about 20.47 yuan per liter; diesel is 20.8 Hong Kong dollars per liter, about 17.8 yuan per liter. per liter.
, oil prices in Taiwan.
Currently Taiwan’s No. 92 unleaded gasoline is about NT$30.4 (about 6.86 yuan);
html No. 195 gasoline is about NT$31.8 (about 7.2 yuan);
html No. 198 gasoline is about NT$33.8 (about 7.66 yuan). RMB);
Diesel is approximately: NT$28.1 (approximately NT$6.36).
, Macau oil price.
There are three types of oil in Macau, namely unleaded gasoline, leaded gasoline and diesel. The current oil price in Macau is about 1.5 times that of the mainland, and the gasoline in Macau is mainly similar to No. 98 gasoline, which is equivalent to a gasoline price of about 15 yuan. Around RMB per liter.
By comparing the gasoline prices in various provinces, it can be seen that the current oil price in Hong Kong is the most expensive. The reason why Hong Kong’s oil prices are relatively expensive is that Hong Kong’s gasoline is mainly imported; on the other hand, labor and site costs are relatively high. Relatively high, so Hong Kong has always been one of the regions with the highest oil prices in the world.
The reason why Taiwan's oil prices are relatively low is mainly due to the intervention of human factors. Currently, Taiwan's gasoline and diesel are mainly supplied by China Petroleum Corporation and Formosa Plastics , of which China Petroleum accounts for a large part.
However, China National Petroleum Corporation’s pricing is not based on the market, but implements “halving price increase” mechanism. That is to say, when international oil prices rise and corresponding domestic refined oil prices need to increase by 10 yuan, China National Petroleum Corporation will “absorb” the increase. 5 yuan, consumers only need to bear 5 yuan, which is also the main reason for the substantial losses of Taiwan Petroleum . It is estimated that the cumulative loss of in April will be about NT$165 billion.
