The UAE has announced the retail fuel prices for the month of August. The fuel price committee increased the retail rates for Super 98, Special 95, and E-Plus 91 by 5 fils per litre from the month of July.

From August 1, 2023, Super 98 petrol will cost Dhs3.14 a litre from Dhs3 a litre in July, while Special 95 will cost Dhs3.02 a litre compared to Dh2.89 a litre the previous month, according to a tweet from fuel retailing company Emarat.

The UAE’s fuel price committee meets every month to decide whether prices will increase or decrease.
