2. Phenomenon analysis: Why does “filling up the tank” cause heated discussion?
1.Oil prices fluctuate frequently: Affected by the international situation, domestic oil prices have experienced two adjustments within 10 days. The price range of 92-proof gasoline is 7.8-8.2 yuan/liter. Car owners are more sensitive to refueling strategies.

3.Participation of new energy vehicle owners: A pure electric vehicle owner posted a cost comparison table of “charging vs. refueling”, triggering users of traditional fuel vehicles to re-examine their refueling behavior.
| Vehicle type | Cost per kilometer (yuan) | Recharge time |
|---|---|---|
| Fuel vehicle (fill up the tank) | 0.6-0.8 | 5 minutes |
| Pure electric vehicle (full) | 0.1-0.3 | 30 minutes (quick charge) |
3. Three major suggestions for scientifically looking at “filling up the tank”
1.Choose according to the car usage scenario: It is recommended to fill up the tank for long-distance travel to reduce stopovers; for short-distance urban commuting, half a tank of fuel can be maintained to reduce vehicle weight and save fuel consumption.
2.Pay attention to oil quality: Although some small gas stations have launched the “30% off when filling up” campaign, the oil may cause carbon deposits in the engine, so it is recommended to choose regular gas stations.
