Diesel prices will increase by 4.5 per cent from Monday, while petrol prices will remain almost the same in October compared with September. Here’s a breakdown: - Super 98: Dh2.61 a litre (up from Dh2.59 in September) - Special 95: Dh2.50 a litre (up from Dh2.48) - Diesel: Dh2.76 a litre (up from Dh2.64) The price of diesel is higher this year after being set at Dh2.33 a litre in January, after VAT was included. Petrol prices also increased marginally in September. Since the start of the year they have been steadily rising, despite a blip in July. Special 95 was Dh2.12 a litre in January. Fuel prices were liberalised about two years ago, so they now move with the market. <strong>______________</strong> <strong>More on oil</strong> <strong><a href="https://www.thenational.ae/business/energy/business-extra-podcast-russia-saudi-arabia-and-the-state-of-oil-markets-1.736976">Business Extra podcast: Russia, Saudi Arabia and the state of oil markets</a></strong> <strong><a href="https://www.thenational.ae/business/energy/stronger-dollar-weighs-on-foreign-oil-importers-1.752880">Stronger dollar weighs on foreign oil importers</a></strong> <strong><a href="https://www.thenational.ae/uae/transport/abu-dhabi-motorists-must-pay-or-pump-their-own-petrol-from-saturday-1.744464">Abu Dhabi motorists must pay or pump their own petrol</a></strong>
