Dubai residents are paying up to Dh125 more per tank of fuel than they did in February after fuel prices rose sharply this October. Super 98 went from Dh2.59 to Dh4.40 per litre, Special 95 from Dh2.48 to Dh4.28, and E-Plus 91 from Dh2.40 to Dh4.21. Diesel increased from Dh2.72 to Dh4.80. This is a 70% increase for Super 98, 73% for Special 95, 75% for E-Plus, and 76% for diesel since February.
For an 80-litre vehicle, the difference is Dh144 for petrol and Dh166.40 for diesel. Despite the high fuel costs, UAE remains below the global average price for petrol, which is around $1.59 per litre.
