Following the decision, petrol prices increased by more than 20 per cent and diesel prices reduced by 29 per cent for the month of August. For September, the fuel prices dropped by more than 8 per cent as the global oil prices plunged due to over production and weak demand.
The per litre prices for September were Super 98-Dh2.07; Special 95-Dh1.96; E Plus-91: Dh1.89. Diesel price was fixed at Dh1.86 per litre.
