What is the difference between 8 yuan gasoline for private gas stations and 8.6 yuan gasoline for Sinopec? Can it be mixed with plus?

After entering 2022, due to the impact of some special international events, the international crude oil price has been rising all the way, and the corresponding domestic refined oil price has also risen.

From January to now, refined oil products have achieved six consecutive increases, of which the adjustment rate on March 17 reached 750 yuan per ton.

After this adjustment, the current domestic No. 92 gasoline has generally reached more than 8.6 yuan, and some regions have even reached about 8.8 yuan.

How to save fuel in the context of rising oil prices is a topic of concern to everyone.

There are many ways to save fuel, the simplest and most effective way is not to drive, but not driving is obviously unrealistic for many people, after all, many people need to use cars every day.

At this time, if you want to save the cost of driving, from the details of refueling to deal with, it may be more effective, for example, at present, some private gas stations No. 92 gasoline is only between 7 yuan and 8 yuan.

This oil price is a few cents cheaper than three barrels of oil, and some private oil prices can even be about 1 yuan cheaper, which is equivalent to filling a tank of 50 liters of gasoline can save between 25 yuan and 50 yuan, and the cost savings are still relatively obvious.

So why is the oil at a private gas station so cheap? What is the difference between it and gasoline with two barrels of oil? Can it be mixed with plus? In view of these problems, let's analyze them one by one.

First, why is the oil at private gas stations so cheap.

At present, there are still many private gas stations in the mainland, especially in some places such as Shandong.

Compared with three barrels of oil, the most significant feature of private gas stations is that the oil price is relatively cheap, under normal circumstances, it will be between 2 and 5 cents cheaper than three barrels of oil, and some places can even be cheaper by about a dollar.

So why are private gas stations so cheap?

From the actual situation, the reason why the oil price of private gas stations is cheap is mainly due to several reasons.

1, the purchase cost is relatively low.

There are two sources of purchase for these private oil stations, one is directly from the three-barrel oil refinery, and the other is from the local refinery.

The cost of buying from three barrels of oil is about the same as the cost of three barrels of oil, and may even be slightly higher than the cost of three barrels of oil.

However, the price of importing oil from local refineries is relatively low, which is also an important reason why the price of private oil stations is relatively cheap in places where there are more local refineries.

2, some oil is not invoiced at all.

In order to reduce the cost of some private oil stations, when they refine and purchase goods from some places, the two sides hit it off, and the oil is not invoiced at all, so that part of the tax can be saved, and this tax is not low overall.

3, the operating costs are relatively low.

Compared with the three barrels of oil, the operating costs of private gas stations are obviously much lower, on the one hand, the storage and transportation costs of private gas stations are not so high; on the other hand, the wages and benefits of employees of private gas stations are obviously lower than those of three barrels of oil, which can save a lot of costs; and another is that the land price or related rents in the area where private gas stations are located are relatively cheap, so the overall operating costs are much lower than that of three barrels of oil.

4, low price to attract customers.

In everyone's understanding, the overall influence of three barrels of oil, including oil quality, brand and other aspects than the private gas station has more advantages, in this competitive environment, private gas stations want to survive, the pricing must be lower than the three barrels of oil, otherwise who will refuel?

After combining the above 4 factors, the overall price of private gas stations is between two cents and one dollar lower than three barrels of oil, and there is no fuss.

Second, what is the difference between the oil of a private gas station and the oil of two barrels of oil?

Seeing that the oil price of private oil stations is so low, many car owners will have a question, the price of private oil is so low, is it because their oil is very different from three barrels of oil?

As for whether there is a difference between the oil of the private oil station and the two barrels of oil, this depends on the specific situation.

At present, there are many private gas stations in the mainland, as of 2020, the total number of gas stations in China will reach 119,000, of which the number of two main gas stations accounts for about 45% of the total number of gas stations in China, private gas stations account for about 50%, and CNOOC Sinochem and foreign-funded gas stations account for about 5%.

Equivalent to the current number of private oil stations is about 60,000, in so many private gas stations, the oil quality, service level, management level of each gas station is uneven, no one dares to guarantee that the oil quality of private oil stations must be guaranteed.

Judging from the actual situation reflected by the majority of netizens, some private gas stations may have some problems.

First, lack of motivation.

There are many netizens who have added oil to private gas stations, and there is a very obvious problem here is the lack of motivation.

For example, when adding two barrels of oil gasoline to the throttle, it feels full of power, and when the oil of the private gas station is added, the throttle is not necessarily powered at the end, especially in the process of acceleration, the acceleration is obviously slower, and it is obviously difficult to go uphill or when the load is more.

Second, the mileage is short.

Private gas stations may also have the problem of short mileage, such as the same 100 kilometers, two barrels of oil may only need 8 liters, while private gas stations may need 8.5 liters.

This difference in mileage will be more obvious when running at high speed, sometimes the same tank of oil, two barrels of oil may run between 50 kilometers and 100 kilometers more than private gas stations.

Of course, this is not absolute, some netizens also reflected that some private gas stations added oil mileage may be more than two barrels of oil.

Third, there are more impurities.

As we mentioned earlier, there are many private oil stations whose oil is purchased from local refineries, and no one knows how the oil quality of this local refinery is, it is possible that these refineries will add some additives, and long-term use may have a certain impact on the engine of the car.

Of course, the problems we have listed may be very rare phenomena, from the actual situation, many private gas stations are more formal, in fact, there is not much difference from the oil quality of three barrels of oil.

Third, can the gasoline of private gas stations be mixed with two barrels of gasoline?

At present, the No. 92 gasoline throughout the country basically reaches more than 8.5 yuan, and the No. 95 gasoline can even reach more than 9 yuan, which is not low.

In the context of rising oil prices, many car owners may consider going to some private gas stations to refuel, but their cars have been adding oil in two barrels before, so can they now be mixed with private gas stations?

Under normal circumstances, gasoline mixing mainly considers the model problem, such as No. 92 gasoline and No. 95 gasoline mixing.

For different types of gasoline, in general, it can not be mixed, because the anti-knocking ability of the car itself is not the same, of which The Anti-knocking Ability of No. 98 is the strongest, and the Anti-Knocking Ability of No. 92 Gasoline is the weakest.

If everyone's car is often filled with No. 98 gasoline, and now suddenly add No. 92 gasoline, it will definitely affect the performance of the engine.

Different types of gasoline long-term mixing may cause blockage of the oil circuit, resulting in engine carbon deposition, if the carbon deposition is attached to the spark plug, intake pipe, fuel injector, combustion chamber and other places, may cause ignition difficulties, and even extinguished, such as the common acceleration weakness, driving on the way to aggravate the sudden setback, damage to the three-way catalysis, etc., may be caused by carbon deposition.

So in general, it is not recommended that you mix in different types of gasoline, if you want to mix, you can only use higher models, such as cars often use No. 92, then add No. 95 or No. 98 gasoline is OK.

So if it is the same model, can the oil of the private gas station be mixed with the oil of two barrels of oil?

As for whether the oil of the private gas station can be mixed with the gasoline of the two barrels of oil, everyone should also choose according to their actual situation, theoretically speaking, as long as it is the same type of gasoline, whether it is a private gas station or two barrels of oil are the same.

However, if the oil quality of some private gas stations is relatively poor, it is not recommended that you mix and add, otherwise it is easy to cause problems, especially for those luxury cars, it is recommended that you do not easily replace gasoline.

Of course, if you often refuel at some private gas stations, you can ensure that there is no problem with the oil quality of private gas stations, and the same type of oil can actually be mixed with two barrels of oil.
