Special 95 and Super 98 are also cheaper now than at the start of the year, falling from AED2.71 to AED2.63 a litre and AED2.50 to 2.61 a litre respectively.

From December 1, the cost of filling up vehicles in the UAE has been:

• Diesel: AED2.68 a litre from AED2.67 in November
• Super 98: AED2.61 a litre from AED2.74 in November
• Special 95: AED2.50 a litre from AED2.63 in November
• E-Plus: AED2.43 a litre from AED2.55 in November

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the Fuel Price Committee froze petrol prices in the UAE, preventing any changes.

However, in March 2021, as global oil prices began to rise, the controls were lifted to allow market forces to determine petrol prices once again.

Moreover, the fluctuation in petrol prices is also influenced by changes in crude oil prices worldwide.
