The UAE on Tuesday released the updated fuel prices that will take effect from October 1.
According to the new rates:
- Super 98 petrol will be priced at Dh2.77 per litre, up from Dh2.70 in September.
- Special 95 petrol will cost Dh2.66 per litre, compared to Dh2.58 last month.
- E-Plus 91 petrol will be available at Dh2.58 per litre, rising from Dh2.51.
- Diesel will be charged at Dh2.71 per litre, up from Dh2.66 in September.
Fuel prices had seen a slight increase in September after a dip in August. Economists note that petrol rates significantly impact inflation trends, as they directly affect transportation expenses and the overall cost of goods.
Despite fluctuations, the UAE continues to maintain one of the lowest fuel prices globally, ranking among the top 25 cheapest countries. Petrol prices in the country were deregulated in 2015 to mirror international market trends.
