After a delightful respite from the increasing gas costs in July, the consumers in the UAE have to bear a 3% rise in the UAE fuel prices for August 2019. The ministry decreased rates by 10% for July.
Here are the updated UAE fuel prices for August 2019:
- Super 98: will cost Dh2.37 (Up 3.04% – 7 fils)
- Special 95: will sell at Dh2.26 (Up 3.6% – 8 fils)
- Diesel: will cost Dh2.42 (Up 2.9% – 7 fils)
The fuel prices are increasing due to the tension between the US and Iran. Moreover, Opec countries have decided to keep the production volume low.
