the UAE Fuel Price Follow-up Committee accepted new prices for fuel in August and a price rise, the Emirati newspaper Al-Bayan reported on Monday.
The price of a litre of “98 petrol” went up from 3 dirhams to 3.14 dirhams, or 14 fils, and the price of a litre of “private petrol” 95 went up from 2.89 dirhams to 3.02 dirhams, or 13 fils.

The UAE fuel price group gets together once a month to decide if prices will go up or down.
