How Petrol Price Is Decided?
Before 2015, the government highly subsidised fuel prices. This protected prices from fluctuating. However, in September 2015, it was liberalised to align with global oil prices. The Fuel Price Committee decides fuel prices in the UAE and we can expect more changes over the next few months.
What Is The Best Type Of Fuel For Your Car?
The best fuel type for your vehicle depends on the manufacturer’s recommendation and your driving needs. Always check your vehicle’s manual or consult with the dealer to ensure you’re using the appropriate fuel for optimal performance and longevity.
In the UAE, petrol is available in different octane levels:
- E-Plus 91: Priced the lowest, this fuel is suitable for cars with minimal performance traits and is more commute-oriented.
- Special 95: Suitable for most standard vehicles, offering a great balance of performance and price.
- Super 98: Ideal for high-performance engines that require higher octane levels to prevent knocking. This grade of petrol is also the most expensive.
- Diesel: Standard-issue diesel that can be used in everything from large trucks and buses to medium-sized commercial vehicles, SUVs, and pickup trucks with diesel engines.
Best Practices To Save Fuel
Efficient fuel use isn’t just good for your wallet; it also benefits the environment. Here are some tips to save fuel:
- Drive Smoothly: Sudden and hard acceleration and braking consume more fuel. Maintain a steady speed and anticipate traffic conditions to avoid unnecessary stops.
- Maintain Proper Tyre Pressure: Under-inflated tyres increase resistance, requiring more fuel. Check and maintain the recommended tire pressure regularly.
- Avoid Excess Idling: Keeping the engine running while stationary wastes fuel. Turn off the engine if you’re waiting for an extended period.
- Lighten Your Load: Excess weight in your car forces the engine to work harder, therefore consuming more fuel. Remove unnecessary items from your vehicle and avoid carrying heavy loads unless necessary.
- Use Cruise Control: On highways, using cruise control helps maintain a consistent speed, improving fuel efficiency.
- Keep Up With Maintenance: Regular servicing, including oil changes, air filter replacements, and engine tuning, ensures your car operates efficiently.
Planning Refueling Schedules To Save Money
Strategic refueling can help you maximize savings, especially in a dynamic market like the UAE. Here’s how:
- Track Monthly Price Announcements: UAE fuel prices are updated at the start of each month and are announced on the last day of the previous month. Stay informed and refuel before a price hike takes effect. Refer to our fuel price prediction article for more details.
- Fill Up During Off-Peak Hours: Avoid refueling during peak times (Commute hours or weekends) to avoid queues and more idle time.
- Use Fuel Rewards Programs: Many fuel stations, such as ENOC or ADNOC, offer rewards or cashback on fuel purchases. Enroll in these programs to save money. Read our best fuel stations in the UAE article for more details.
- Plan Long Trips Ahead: Refuel at cost-effective stations before starting a long journey, especially if you’re heading to areas with fewer fuel options or higher prices.
