据普氏首尔11月27日消息，韩国10月汽油需求同比下降16％，这是自1998年10月亚洲金融危机爆发以来20年来的最大降幅。
根据普氏编制的韩国国家石油公司的数据，韩国上个月的汽油消费量同比下降10.6%，至564万桶，为2013年2月以来的最大降幅。这是自2014年2月该国消耗534万桶原油以来的最低水平。
韩国10月的汽油消费量从去年同期的1376万桶降至1230万桶。
“汽车燃料消费量的急剧下降，是由于汽油价格上涨和经济放缓，”韩国国家石油公司的一位官员表示。
更受欢迎的92 RON汽油10月份均价为1681韩元(合1.48美元/升)，较上年同期上涨11.8%。据这位官员称，这是四年来的最高价格。
今年10月，95 RON汽油均价为每升1948韩元，较上年同期上涨6.2%。
10月，零售汽油价格同比上涨14.6%，平均价格为每升1485韩元。
根据韩国国家石油公司官员的说法，由于消费量急剧下降，该国的汽油库存同比增长34％，至698万桶。
10月份韩国汽油库存同比增长7.1％，至1158万桶。
今年前10个月，韩国汽油需求同比下降1.7％至13699万桶，而汽油消费量同比下降0.7％至6581万桶。
10月份，包括石脑油在内的韩国石油产品消费量同比下降8.5%，至7335万桶，平均每日237万桶。
这是自7月份石油消费较上年同期下降2%以来，石油需求连续第4次下降。10月份的石油消费量也较9月份下降4.4%。
10月份液化石油气消费量同比下降7.2％至811万桶，为连续第三年同比下降。石脑油消费量同比下降11.2％至3633万桶。
由于减税和国际原油价格的走低，预计韩国对汽车燃料的需求将在11月出现反弹。
