Frequently asked questions

Are petrol prices cheaper in Abu Dhabi than Dubai?

No. Fuel prices in the UAE are set uniformly by the UAE Fuel Price Committee and apply equally across all service stations in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and the Northern Emirates.

Which grade should I choose for long highway trips?

Consult your car owner manual. If your engine requires minimum 95 octane, Special 95 is appropriate. Using a higher grade than recommended does not increase highway efficiency.
