Early yesterday morning, the news that domestic oil prices increased by 110 yuan per ton has reached everyone's ears. This is the fifth increase in oil prices this year. Many netizens can't help but ask: How much does it cost to fill a tank of oil in a car now? ? What factors caused the rise in oil prices? Is it just the Russia-Ukraine war? Are my country's oil prices on the high side or low in the world?
Since this year, international oil prices have been fluctuating. In early March, international oil prices even rose to 137.64 US dollars per barrel, a 14-year high. Although it fell back later, it was still at $102.54/barrel, an increase of about 35% from the end of last year. Friends, are the fluctuations big?
Let’s look at some domestic data: In mid-March, the domestic oil price per ton has exceeded 10,000 yuan, reaching 10,005 yuan/ton. After the increase yesterday, it is already 1.0115 yuan/ton, an increase of about 19.3% compared with mid-January. As of yesterday, No. 92 gasoline has been raised by about 1.32 yuan per liter, a growth rate of about 18%; No. 95 gasoline has been raised by about 1.52 yuan per liter, with a growth rate of about 19%. According to this algorithm, if a car's fuel tank is 50L full, it now costs about 440 yuan to fill up with No. 92 gasoline, which is 66 yuan more than in mid-January; it costs 475 yuan to fill up the tank with No. 95 gasoline, which is 75 yuan more than in mid-January. Yuan.
However, how does the international crude oil price affect our country's oil price? Our country's oil prices should be adjusted every 10 working days. When adjusting, we should look at the average price of international oil prices in the 10 working days before the price adjustment, and compare it with the average price in the previous 20 days. However, not all situations require adjustment. For example, when the international crude oil price is lower than 40 US dollars per barrel, our country's oil price will no longer be lowered. When the international price is higher than 130 yuan/barrel, my country's oil prices may not increase or increase slightly.
How are domestic oil prices determined?
Let’s give an example first so that everyone can see it more clearly. Yesterday's No. 92 oil price in Beijing. For every liter of gasoline, its raw materials, refining costs, gas station costs, etc. will affect its price. Their profits are about 70%, and the rest are taxes and fees, such as consumption tax, VAT, corporate income tax, etc.
Looking at the world, my country's oil prices rank 61st among nearly 170 countries, in an upper-middle position. In fact, it is relatively stable overall.
