Car owners who’ve been feeling the heat of the spike in fuel prices can heave a sigh of relief. June might be one of the hottest months, but it’s one where fuel prices will cool off. The UAE Fuel Price Committee has announced that prices for petrol and diesel will be slashed across the country. Hurray!
There is much to celebrate as this is the first time in the last four months that fuel prices have taken a (much-needed) dip.
The Fuel Price Committee have said that petrol will cost 21 fils less per litre during June. This price drop applies across all petrol variants of Super 98, Special 95 and E-Plus. There’ll be a 6.6% drop in prices of Super 98 and Special 95 petrol, and rates of E-Plus will see a 7% downward swing.
How much that tallies up to in dirhams is as follows: starting June 1, the price of Super 98 petrol will be Dh2.95 per litre. Special 95 will cost you Dh2.84 and E-Plus fuel’s price will be Dh2.76 per litre.
Is diesel included in the petrol price cuts?
Prices of diesel too have been trimmed down by 35fils. Tomorrow onwards, diesel will cost Dh2.68 per litre. These price cuts have made fuel in the UAE way cheaper than the global average of an eye-watering Dh4.7 per litre.
So, if you haven’t topped up on petrol yet, hold back until the clock strikes 12 and prices reset. You’ll be tanking up on fuel and savings!
