These newly announced prices are the highest since they were liberalized in the year 2015. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, the Fuel Price Committee in the year 2020 froze the prices of fuel, of which the controls were removed in the month of March last year in order to reflect the movement of the market. 

The rising prices ignited rage among the general population of UAE, with people commenting and condemning the rising fuel prices. 

One of the UAE nationals commented, “This seriously needs to stop. You can’t rush people into increasing 2 AED in less than a year per litre. Absolute madness… The electric vehicle will still need time to catch up!.” 

Meanwhile, another resident wrote, “It must be an April fool’s message. Cant be real. I’m sure we don’t want to be No. 1 in the highest fuel category in GCC.”
