How Petrol Price Is Decided?

Before 2015, the government heavily subsidized fuel prices, keeping them stable. In September 2015, fuel prices were liberalized to reflect global oil rates. The UAE's Fuel Price Committee now sets prices, so further changes are likely in the coming months.

Choosing the right fuel for your vehicle depends on the manufacturer's recommendations and your driving habits. Check the owner's manual or consult your dealer to ensure you're using the correct fuel for optimal performance and durability.

  • Special 95: Commonly used for standard vehicles, offering a good balance between performance and cost.
  • Super 98: Best for high-performance engines needing higher octane to avoid knocking; it's the priciest.
  • Diesel: Used in large trucks, buses, commercial vehicles, SUVs, and pickups with diesel engines.

Efficient fuel use helps both your budget and the environment. Here are some fuel-saving tips:

  • Drive Smoothly: Avoid sudden acceleration and hard braking. Maintain a steady speed and anticipate traffic to reduce stops.
  • Check Tire Pressure: Under-inflated tires increase fuel consumption. Regularly ensure they’re at the recommended pressure.
  • Avoid Idling: Turn off the engine if stopped for long periods; idling wastes fuel.
  • Reduce Weight: Extra weight makes the engine work harder. Remove unnecessary items from your car.
  • Use Cruise Control: On highways, it helps maintain a constant speed, improving fuel efficiency.
  • Regular Maintenance: Routine servicing, like oil changes and air filter replacements, keeps your car running efficiently.
  • Planning Refueling Schedules To Save Money

Strategic refueling can save you money in the UAE's dynamic fuel market. Here’s how:

  • Monitor Monthly Prices: Fuel prices change at the start of each month. Refuel before a price increase.
  • Refuel Off-Peak: Avoid busy times like commutes or weekends to reduce waiting and idling.
  • Join Rewards Programs: Fuel stations like ENOC or ADNOC offer cashback and discounts. Enroll to save more.
  • Plan Long Trips: Fill up at cheaper stations before long journeys, especially if fuel options are limited or costlier along the route.

Verdict

Staying informed about fuel price updates, maintaining your vehicle, and using strategic refueling techniques can help you save money and optimize fuel efficiency in the UAE. By following simple tips like driving smoothly, keeping tires properly inflated, and planning your refueling times, you can make the most of every journey while benefiting both your wallet and the environment.
