The UAE fuel price committee has recently announced the petrol and diesel prices for the month of October 2024. Starting from October 1st, the new rates are as follows: Super 98 petrol will cost Dh2.66 a litre, compared to the previous month’s rate of Dh2.90, Special 95 petrol will cost Dh2.54 per litre as opposed to Dh2.78, E-Plus 91 petrol will be Dh2.47 a litre compared to Dh2.71, and diesel will be charged at Dh2.6 a litre as opposed to Dh2.78. The decrease in petrol prices for October was expected as global oil prices remained low in September.
In September, Brent oil prices averaged nearly $73 a barrel, a decrease from $78.63 in August. This decrease was attributed to various factors such as firming supply and reports of Saudi Arabia planning to increase production. The news of Saudi Arabia planning to abandon the $100 per barrel target and increase output led to oil prices dropping more than 4% in just two days last week. This decline in global oil prices has influenced the petrol prices in the UAE for the month of October.
Since the UAE deregulated petrol prices in 2015 and aligned them with global rates, the prices are revised at the end of each month. The UAE’s Fuel Price Committee will officially announce the retail petrol and diesel rates tomorrow to align them with the global rates. As consumers, it is important to stay updated with the latest news related to fuel prices to plan and manage expenses accordingly.
