Gasoline variants display a consistent regional pattern, with E10 blends priced above E5 in both regions. The highest regional price is Gasoline E10 RON 95-V at 22,040 in Region 2, followed by 20,810 for E10 RON 95-III in Region 2, and 20,120 for E5 RON 92-II in Region 2.

Market sentiment over the past 24 hours reflects a mix of global price signals and domestic adjustments. Reports highlight a mild pullback in oil prices as supply remains elevated and markets digest OPEC+ production decisions. Some outlets note E10 being offered at notably competitive prices, with E5 slipping by several thousand dong per liter in certain updates. Overall, international crude benchmarks hover in the 70s while USD movements add an additional layer of pricing pressure in domestic markets.
