UAE Petrol And Diesel Prices To Fall In June

UAE petrol and diesel prices will be cheaper in June. That’s because the country’s fuel price committee has met.

The rates will be as follows:

• Super 98 petrol will cost Dhs2.95 a litre, compared to Dhs3.16 in May.
• Special 95 petrol will cost Dhs2.84 per litre, compared to Dhs3.05 in May.
• E-Plus 91 petrol will cost Dhs2.76 a litre, compared to Dh2.97 in May.
• Diesel will be charged at Dhs2.68 a litre compared to Dhs3.03 in May.

The price drop comes after a hike was confirmed in May.

In 2022, UAE petrol prices went above Dhs4 for the first time in June.

And they reached an all-time high in July, with Super 98 costing Dhs4.63 per litre.

Prices then fell for three consecutive months in August, September and October.

Then a November hike was followed by a further reduction in December.

Fuel prices in the country were liberalised in 2015, with local rates being aligned with global oil prices.

For the past seven years, the fuel price committee has met on a monthly basis to announce revised rates.

The government hopes the measure will encourage more residents to use public transport while also incensing the use of alternative fuels.
