Overview
Understand what the tool solves, how it works, and the boundaries of its data.
This lookup returns a set of mainland China fuel-price records by region. Each row can include a date, 92, 95, and 98 gasoline fields, and a No. 0 diesel field. Prices are labeled in Chinese yuan per liter (CNY/L). The table is useful when you need to compare the returned regional entries or review a dated record; it is not a US price lookup, a station finder, or a route-cost calculator.
China's National Development and Reform Commission describes regional maximum retail prices for gasoline and diesel and allows sellers to set their specific retail prices at or below the applicable ceiling. A regional figure and the amount charged at a particular station therefore have different meanings. The official notices describe the policy context; they do not identify the data feed used for an individual result.
Guide
Follow the workflow and verify inputs and outputs with practical examples.
Leave the optional date field empty to request the latest data available through the lookup. Enter eight digits in yyyyMMdd form to request a particular date; for example, 20260601. The input checks the eight-digit format, while whether a calendar date has matching data depends on the response.
Choose the price-check action, then read each returned region together with its date. Compare the same fuel field across records and keep the dates aligned. An empty field or dash means no value was supplied for that field in this response; it is not a zero price.
Use the copy control in the results area to copy the returned records with region, date, fuel labels, and CNY/L units. Save the query date alongside the copied text so a later reader can tell which request it came from.
The result is a unit price, not a tank-fill or trip total. For a separate estimate, multiply the liters you expect to buy by the applicable returned price per liter. If a record shows a price p CNY/L and you plan to buy 40 L, the arithmetic is 40 × p CNY. This example explains the units only: the lookup does not accept liters or calculate that total, and the result may not equal a station's final price.
Use cases
See how the tool fits into real work and everyday tasks.
A traveler comparing the regions returned for a planned journey can review the same fuel grade and date, then use the figures as one planning reference. Check the station's current posted price before fueling.
A team compiling a dated regional comparison can copy the displayed fields into its notes and retain the date and units. Use receipts, invoices, or the relevant seller's records when the task requires an actual transaction amount.
When checking a previous travel or reporting date, request that date and preserve exactly what the lookup returns. Availability for a requested day is not guaranteed, so do not fill missing periods by assuming a neighboring record applies.
Q&A
Find concise answers to common questions and confusing cases.
No. A blank date requests the latest data available to the lookup. The returned regional record is not a live quote from every filling station, and the response date should be checked before using it as current.
No such coverage is guaranteed. The field accepts an eight-digit date, but the data source determines whether a record is available for it. A missing response does not establish what prices were on that day.
The lookup presents regional data, while an individual seller sets a specific retail price within the applicable rules and may offer its own promotions. For the amount charged at a particular location, rely on that station's posted terms and transaction record.
It means the response did not provide a value for that field. Do not treat it as zero, infer that the fuel is unavailable, or include it as a numeric price in an average.
Notes
Review scope, result limitations, and important precautions before use.
This lookup is a reference for the mainland China regional fields it returns. Its data supplier, update timing, regional coverage, and historical completeness are not specified here, so verify the returned date and region before relying on a figure. A result should not be represented as a station-specific quote or a complete official historical series.
For vehicle use, follow the fuel type and grade specified by the vehicle maker. For reimbursement, purchasing, contract, audit, or dispute records, use the relevant receipt, invoice, payment record, station information, or authority-issued document. Keep the currency and per-liter unit with any copied figure, especially when comparing it with data in another currency or unit.
