Experts interpret the current gasoline and diesel price control.

The National Development and Reform Commission announced on the 7th that according to the refined oil price mechanism, starting from 24:00 on April 7th, the domestic gasoline and diesel prices should be raised by 800 yuan and 770 yuan per ton respectively, with actual increases of 420 yuan and 400 yuan after adjustment. Experts said that since the adjustment of domestic refined oil prices on March 23, international crude oil prices have fluctuated significantly. To mitigate the impact of rising international oil prices on the domestic market, the country continues to implement price control measures for refined oil prices. Lv Zhichen, deputy director of the Price, Cost, and Certification Center of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that this time the maximum retail prices of gasoline and diesel should be raised by 800 yuan and 770 yuan per ton respectively, with actual increases of 420 yuan and 400 yuan, resulting in a decrease of 380 yuan and 370 yuan respectively, equivalent to a decrease of 0.31 yuan per liter for 92 octane gasoline and 0.32 yuan per liter for 0 diesel. Preliminary calculations show that a private car filling up a tank can save around 15 yuan, while a large truck filling up a tank can save 150 to 200 yuan. Dong Xiucheng, a professor at the University of International Business and Economics, stated that the country needs to consider various factors such as market supply security and downstream capacity when implementing price controls on refined oil. The goal is to avoid excessive impact of price fluctuations on downstream users and to properly manage the cost of crude oil imports in order to ensure a stable supply of refined oil.
