In today's automobile consumption landscape, fuel prices have become the most pressing concern for consumers. This year’s multiple fuel price increases have made oil costs a major topic of discussion. The once dominant "money-to-buy" mindset during car price reductions has shifted to worries about rising fuel expenses. A recent petrol crisis in the Pearl River Delta further heightened public anxiety, turning concerns into fears of an energy shortage. According to statistics, oil prices have surged from a 6.5% increase last year to a 15% rise this year, with prices now up nearly 50% compared to the same period last year. In a survey conducted by a local newspaper on car purchasing behavior in the Pearl River Delta, oil prices have climbed from the 10th most important factor to the second, just behind maintenance costs. Traffic conditions and car prices now rank lower in importance. Most respondents believe that fuel prices will continue to rise, viewing the energy issue as a growing threat to society. In Guangzhou, 85% of those surveyed expect oil prices to either "significantly increase" or "slightly increase," while less than 8% think they will drop. While oil prices don’t directly affect when people buy cars in Guangzhou, they do influence buyers’ attention to fuel efficiency and vehicle displacement. In cities like Dongguan and Foshan, one in four respondents said they’ve delayed their purchase plans due to rising fuel costs. Many can afford to buy a car, but not the ongoing expenses of ownership, especially fuel. Interestingly, our survey also revealed that consumers are increasingly environmentally conscious. Nearly 80% believe that implementing the Euro III standard nationwide is essential and consider it a key factor when choosing a car. Clearly, energy-efficient and eco-friendly vehicles are becoming the new trend. This year’s automotive policies reflect a shift toward environmental protection and energy-saving technologies. In the near future, domestically developed green technologies may become more common. However, some policy uncertainties remain. As 2006 draws to a close, three major issues still linger: when will the fuel tax be introduced? How will the consumption tax be reformed? And when will the “Three Guarantees” policy take effect? Additionally, the lifting of city-based vehicle restrictions remains a hot topic. These policies will significantly impact car consumption. We hope for clarity soon. **Unsolved Case 1: When Will the Fuel Tax Be Introduced?** The introduction of the fuel tax aims to replace existing road fees with a taxation system, increasing taxes on gasoline and diesel while removing certain tolls. China has already drafted a national plan for this reform. Given the country’s energy shortages and high fuel consumption rates, implementing a fuel tax is seen as inevitable. However, despite years of anticipation, the timing remains unclear. The fuel tax could reshape the auto market, affecting both car owners and manufacturers. **Comment:** The fuel tax is expected to promote a more sustainable automotive society, encouraging smaller, fuel-efficient cars. Yet, the delay in implementation has left many wondering—when will the right moment come? **Unsolved Case 2: How Will the Consumption Tax Be Adjusted?** The current adjustment of the automobile consumption tax is still under study. Reports suggest that tax rates may be reduced for small-displacement vehicles and increased for larger ones. For example, cars below 1.0L might see a tax cut from 3% to 1%, while those over 3.0L could face an increase from 8% to 10%. Some proposals even suggest dividing vehicles into seven categories, with tax rates ranging from 1% to 20%. **Comment:** These changes aim to encourage the production and purchase of smaller, greener cars. Whether these reforms will be implemented alongside the fuel tax or separately remains uncertain. **Unsolved Case 3: When Will the “Three Guarantees” Policy Be Introduced?** Consumer preferences are shifting from price-focused buying to after-sales service quality. While discounts and convenience still attract buyers, many now prioritize dealerships offering reliable service. However, consumer associations report increasing complaints about brand stores. A draft of the “Car Three Guarantees” policy was released last year, allowing consumers to return or replace vehicles with serious quality issues within 30 days. Recent updates require quicker responses and place the cost of testing on the manufacturer. Despite expectations, the policy has yet to be officially launched, leaving many frustrated. **Comment:** The “Three Guarantees” policy is highly anticipated. It holds real potential to resolve consumer disputes, but its delayed implementation continues to raise concerns. Consumers are waiting for a timely solution.
