Dubai, Oct. 1 (Petra) — Gasoline and diesel prices in the United
Arab Emirates rose as of Thursday, Oct. 1, under the new tariff
announced by the Fuel Price Follow-up Committee, in an increase
covering all fuel categories compared with prices in effect during
September, according to Emirati media.

Fuel prices for the current month of October rose by about 15.8% for
“Super 98,” 16% for “Special 95,” 16.6% for “E-Plus 91,” and 11.6%
for diesel, compared with last September.

Under the new prices, the price of a liter of “Super 98” gasoline
rose from AED3.80 to AED4.40, an increase of 60 fils per liter, while
“Special 95” rose from AED3.69 to AED4.28, and “E-Plus 91” rose from
AED3.61 to AED4.21 per liter. The price of diesel also rose from
AED4.30 to AED4.80 per liter, an increase of 50 fils per liter.

The new increase is directly reflected in the cost of filling
vehicles, as the cost of filling a 60-liter tank rises by about AED36
when using gasoline whose price increased by 60 fils per liter,
compared with last month, while the additional cost varies according
to fuel type, vehicle tank capacity, and usage rate. The UAE reviews
fuel prices monthly in light of prevailing trends in global energy
markets.
