It’s that time of the month again when we try to hang onto the remaining fuel we have in the car in the hope that next month it’ll be cheaper.
Yes, UAE petrol prices are announced on the final day of every month by the United Arab Emirates federal government via its petroleum firm Emarat.
The summer months ended with a slight increase in prices but we’re hopeful of a drop in the price of petrol following dips in June and July.

- Super 98 petrol: Dhs3.14 per litre, compared to Dhs3.34 per litre in May

As petrol prices have continued to rise so too has what we pay for a taxi in Dubai with a per kilometre rate now at Dhs2.14 in the city. But with the national price of petrol now going down – will we see a decrease in taxi rates too?
