Motorists should brace for a significant hit at the pump, as the next fuel price adjustment is scheduled for 24 September at 24:00, leaving just ten days before the change takes effect. The 19th pricing cycle of 2026 officially commenced on 14 September, marking the first statistical working day of this evaluation period.

Real-time calculations from monitoring institutions reveal that the crude oil change rate has climbed steeply, with projected increases of 500 yuan per tonne for petrol and 480 yuan per tonne for diesel. Translated into retail terms, this signals a substantial surge: 92-octane petrol is expected to rise by 0.40 yuan per litre, 95-octane petrol by 0.43 yuan per litre, and 0-grade diesel by 0.41 yuan per litre.

Analysts suggest that the upward momentum will likely intensify on 15 September, the following working day. It is important to note that these figures are preliminary forecasts based on current institutional estimates, with the final adjustment amount to be confirmed by official authorities.
