More Hong Kong drivers head to mainland China to refuel amid surging oil prices
AI Summary
Due to rising global oil prices and a significant price difference, more Hong Kong drivers are traveling to mainland China to refuel their vehicles. This trend has increased as fuel costs in Hong Kong have surpassed HK$30 per liter, while prices in Shenzhen and Zhuhai range from 7.66 to 10.29 yuan per liter. The price gap persists even after mainland China's recent fuel price increase, the fourth this year. The Hong Kong, China Automobile Association notes that drivers eligible under the northbound travel scheme and those with cross-border licenses are heading to mainland border cities to take advantage of the lower prices. The situation occurs amid authorities cracking down on illegal filling operations in Hong Kong.
