   After four months of calm in refined oil prices, the National Development and Reform Commission has raised oil prices again. Starting from midnight on February 8th, the national gasoline and diesel prices have increased by 300 yuan per ton, which means that domestic oil prices have returned to their "peak" and are currently at their highest historical level. In recent days of visits, reporters have found that private cars have to spend more than 30 yuan more per month, and the fuel cost for freight transportation has increased by about 15 yuan per 100 kilometers. Almost everyone is trying their best to save fuel, reduce consumption, and save costs wherever they go.

After this price increase, the price of 93 octane gasoline (III) in our city has been adjusted to 7.73 yuan per liter, the price of 97 octane gasoline (III) has been adjusted to 8.37 yuan per liter, and the price of 0 octane diesel (III) has been adjusted to 7.51 yuan per liter. In just four years since 2008, the increase in finished oil prices has exceeded 40%.

   Logistics companies are very sensitive to the rise in oil prices: once oil prices rise, costs increase; When oil prices fall, it becomes a 'profit'. At the current oil prices, we can't make much money on a single trip. However, it's also difficult to implement freight adjustments, not only because many freight contracts were signed early, but also because of competition from peers. When it comes to the rise in oil prices, Wu Xiaohui, the head of Shantou Zhongyi Freight Company, which has been stationed at Xijiao Freight Station for many years, looks lonely: it's been less than 5 months since the last price reduction, and oil prices have risen back. Wu Xiaohui told reporters that his company mainly transports goods to places such as Nanjing, Jiangsu. In recent years, with the rise in oil prices, he has gradually replaced his vehicles from trucks over 9 meters long to large trucks about 17.5 meters long, in order to save fuel consumption and costs. But the journey from Shantou to Nanjing is about 1200 kilometers, and the fuel consumption of large trucks is nearly 50 liters per 100 kilometers. After the price adjustment, the fuel cost per trip will increase by about 200 yuan, "Wu Xiaohui said helplessly. Nowadays, there are many logistics companies, and everyone can only internally digest the cost brought by the increase in oil prices, which greatly increases the operating pressure.

   The price of refined oil has risen for the first time this year. How much impact will this adjustment have on private cars? Ms. Li Dong, the car owner, calculated that her car has a displacement of 1.6 liters and a fuel consumption of about 9 liters per 100 kilometers. Now her car has a monthly mileage of about 1000 kilometers, and she has to pay about 30 yuan more for fuel every month. Let's just go up and go out less every month for economical use, "Ms. Li said.
