The increase will include Special and E-plus fuel, and diesel. This is already the third increase in fuel prices this year.

 

According to the sources, litre prices will generally rise by 20 fils. This means that the cost of Special fuel will increase from Dh1.72 to Dh1.92 per litre.

 

 

The price per litre of E-plus will increase from Dh1.61 to Dh1.81,  the diesel price per litre will rise from Dh2.35 to Dh2.55.
