Xinhuanet Changsha July 5 (Reporter Zhou Nan) Due to the country's substantial reduction in import tariffs on gasoline, diesel, aviation kerosene and fuel oil, and the recent drop in international crude oil prices, some private gas stations in Changsha, capital of Hunan Province, have lowered their prices. Among them, the discount on No. 93 gasoline has reached 0.12/liter to 0.17 yuan/liter.

　　The reporter learned from the interview that many private gas stations in Changsha have offered discounts and promotions. Hunan Heshun Petroleum's No. 93 gasoline, No. 97 gasoline, and No. 0 diesel are 7.37 yuan, 7.82 yuan, and 7.29 yuan per liter respectively. Compared with the national listed prices, the discounts are 0.12 yuan, 0.15 yuan, and 0.05 yuan per liter respectively. As for whether there will be a bigger price adjustment in the next step, a person in charge surnamed Tang from Hunan Heshun Petrochemical Co., Ltd. said, "It is inconvenient to disclose due to commercial competition, but it still depends on the trend of the oil market."

　　Another private enterprise, Hunan Jun'an Petroleum, also reduced the retail price of No. 93 gasoline to 7.32 yuan per liter; and No. 97 gasoline also offered a discount, with the price at 7.87 yuan per liter.

　　As a state-owned enterprise, Sinopec Hunan Oil Company has been keeping its hands off and has not introduced any price discounts. The reporter contacted its deputy manager Hu Letian, who told the reporter that they set prices in accordance with the requirements of the National Development and Reform Commission. At present, the National Development and Reform Commission has not issued a notice on the adjustment of gasoline and diesel prices, so they cannot make price changes.

　　A person in charge of the Hunan Sales Branch of China National Petroleum Corporation told reporters that due to the overall environment, PetroChina also offered price discounts in Hunan. Compared with the previous retail price, the price of diesel per liter has dropped by about 0.3 yuan. As it is the peak period of gasoline consumption, the margin of gasoline concession is slightly smaller, with a price discount of 1% to 2%. As for future price changes, the person in charge said that since the prices of international bulk commodities are also fluctuating, it is difficult to say what the trend of oil prices will be.
