Gulf Oil made a small move, but it caused a big heated discussion - through a simple experiment, it revealed a common sense to the majority of car owners: 1 liter of gasoline is equal to 1000 ml. This should be the knowledge in the junior high school physics textbook, but it has "blown up" the entire oil industry to the ground, just like a living "The Mystery of the Life of Car Owners", which made many car owners exclaim: "I see, we have been 'stunned' for so long!" ”
The reversal of the story is that this simple truth is like a mirror, reflecting the embarrassing situation of some local oil companies. When Gulf Oil popularizes science in a light-hearted and humorous way, people can't help but think of the seemingly serious gas stations in front of their homes. On the one hand, they keep up with the pace of international oil price fluctuations, "I will rise when the international price rises", as if the linkage mechanism is the natural meaning of oil prices; On the other hand, when the international oil price is the first, it often continues to maintain a high level on the grounds of "special national conditions", and the pricing logic that makes people scratch their heads makes car owners puzzled: "The same oil on the earth, why is the gap so big?" ”
For example, a country exports to Southeast Asia, the retail price of refined oil is only 30 yuan, and it is quite profitable. Such a comparison can't help but remind people of the classic joke: "Boss, you have lost so much art!" This kind of comic reality contradictions, so that car owners have joked, if this continues, is it necessary to rise to "sky-high prices", these companies can turn losses into profits?
However, in the face of this situation, the common people are not completely ignorant, but look forward to a more transparent and fair market environment. Everyone wants to believe that every penny should be worth it, and not be fooled by inexplicable reasons. As a result, many car owners have said that for the sake of a real fair trade, they would rather take a long detour to Gulf Oil to queue up for refueling, just for the comfort of "clear consumption".
Behind this national carnival of "1L=1000ml", there is a deep call from the public for a reasonable pricing mechanism and industry transparency.
