The increase in fuel prices is expected to affect transportation costs for residents and businesses, especially those relying on daily commutes or commercial vehicle operations. A breakdown of the full tank costs for different vehicle types illustrates the impact:

Compact Cars (Average 51-litre tank capacity)

  • Super 98 petrol: Dh139.74
  • Special 95 petrol: Dh134.13
  • E-Plus 91 petrol: Dh130.05

Fuel Pricing Mechanism in the UAE

The UAE’s fuel prices are reviewed monthly by the Fuel Prices Monitoring Committee, based on the average global price of oil. The Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure determines the final rates after factoring in the operating expenses of fuel distribution companies.

This pricing structure, implemented in 2015, aims to align domestic fuel prices with international trends, allowing for flexibility in the market. As a result, fuel prices in the UAE fluctuate in response to global crude oil dynamics.

Market Outlook

Industry analysts indicate that the latest hike may be linked to rising crude oil prices in global markets, geopolitical factors, and supply chain disruptions. The increase could impact transportation costs and logistics expenses, prompting businesses and consumers to adjust their budgets accordingly.

Motorists and businesses in the UAE will now need to factor in the higher fuel costs for February, with many expected to explore fuel-saving strategies such as carpooling, using fuel-efficient vehicles, or relying on public transportation to mitigate expenses.
