In 2023, prices hit the lowest in January and peaked in October when Super 98 was priced at Dh3.44 a litre. But it was still lower than the previous year when petrol rates hit an all-time high of over Dh4 a litre in the wake of the Russia-Ukraine war that started in early 2022.
Since the UAE deregulated oil prices in 2015, local retail petrol prices are revised at the end of every month to be aligned with global rates.
Petrol price was reduced after prices dropped by around $5 a barrel globally in December.
Brent price averaged $77.34 in December 2023, which is lower than November 2023 rates when Brent averaged around $82 a barrel.
