How UAE fuel prices are set
The UAE deregulated petrol and diesel prices in 2015. A Fuel Price Committee reviews rates at the end of every month and links them to average international prices. New prices are published on the last day of the month and apply from the 1st. There is no separate price for Abu Dhabi, Sharjah or the Northern Emirates.
Ways to spend less on fuel
- Check your manual before buying Super 98. Most everyday cars are designed for 95 or 91. On a 50-litre tank, E-Plus 91 instead of Super 98 saves AED 9.50 per fill — about AED 490 a year for a weekly fill.
- Move your drive off-peak. See Salik timings and charges.
- Take the train between Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Etihad Rail now runs 10 trips a day from AED 39 — timetable and fares.
