However, when the price of gasoline and diesel is lower than that of 50 yuan per ton, it is equivalent to a price adjustment of less than 5 cents per liter. In order to save social costs, the retail price will not be adjusted for the time being, and will be accumulated or offset at the next price adjustment.

Reasons for perfecting the price mechanism of refined oil
1, the price adjustment time lags behind, which fails to reflect the market changes in a timely and sensitive manner.
At present, the quasi-price of refined oil sales determined by the state can only be adjusted when the weighted average price of the three places in the international market changes beyond a certain range, and each adjustment is at least one month, sometimes several months. In particular, the changes in the international market can not fully reflect the domestic market, so it is difficult to determine the domestic oil price, which not only misleads production, but also affects sales.
2. Mechanical integration distorts the normal demand of the market.
1) The pricing level fluctuates, and it is not uncommon for 200 yuan to adjust the price of tons of oil every time, resulting in the price increase being too high, failing to reach the actual price, and the set price is useless; Either the price reduction is too low to achieve the purpose of promoting production; Either the price adjustment is lagging behind, and the adjusted price has changed with the passage of time, which makes the national guidance price not play a guiding role.
2) The consumption structure, habits and seasonal changes of refined oil products around the world are different from those in the domestic market, and the domestic market demand is also different. It is inevitable that there are differences between the domestic price set according to the oil price in the international market and the actual situation in the domestic market.
3. The transparent and lagging pricing mechanism stimulates speculation, interferes with normal operation and market order, alienates government pricing, fails to stabilize the market and brings unequal market opportunities to operators.
The adjustment of domestic refined oil prices lags behind the changes in the international market by one month, which reserves a large space for speculation and stimulates speculation such as hoarding.
4. The asymmetry between crude oil price and refined oil price affects the normal arrangement of refined oil production and operation.
Crude oil is adjusted monthly 1 day according to the change of international oil price, while the price adjustment of refined oil has a stable range. Therefore, the price of crude oil often rises sharply, the price of refined oil is not mentioned, the price of crude oil decreases, and the purchase price of crude oil and the sales price of refined oil do not match, which is not conducive to the convergence of production and marketing.
