Why fuel prices fell this cycle
Vietnam retail fuel prices are influenced by the rolling reference window of global refined product prices and crude benchmarks, plus taxes, costs, and domestic pricing policy. Ahead of the Christmas break, Brent was near 62 USD per barrel and WTI near 58 USD per barrel, which can ease price pressure in local adjustments.
How much can you save per month
Use this quick method so you do not need any apps or spreadsheets.
Step 1: Estimate your litres per month
Litres per month = (Monthly distance x Consumption)/100
Example: If you drive 1,000 km per month and your car uses 7 L per 100 km. You use about 70 litres per month.
Step 2: Multiply by the price drop
• If you use RON95 III: 70 × 620 = about 43,400 VND saved per month
• If you use E5 RON92: 70 × 520 = about 36,400 VND saved per month
If you drive more, or your car consumes more, the savings scale up.

Practical advice for drivers after a price drop
Should you refuel immediately
If you were planning to refuel anyway, filling up after the adjustment helps you lock in the lower price. If your tank is already near full, the difference is usually small compared with the cost of unnecessary extra fuel.
4 easy ways to reduce fuel use in the city
Keep acceleration smooth and avoid sudden stop start cycles
Maintain correct tyre pressure

Service basic items on schedule, especially air filter and spark plugs
These habits often deliver bigger long term savings than any single weekly price move.
When fuel costs are a signal to rethink your car
Fuel prices go up and down, but your car’s fuel consumption stays with you every day. If your car feels noticeably expensive to run, it may be time to check two things:
1) What is your car worth right now
Start with an online valuation to understand your realistic market range before making any decision.
