While our celebrations may have been short-lived, there\u2019s more to the story than meets the eye.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Consistent with international market trends, car fuel prices will be up this month. According to the announcements made by the UAE Ministry of Energy, all three variants of petrol will see a rise of Dh 0.06 per liter. So the new per liter rates are Dh 2.01 (Super 98), Dh 1.90 (Super 95) and Dh 1.83 (E-Plus). The price per liter for Diesel has also increased to Dh 1.97 from Dh 1.95 in April.<\/p>\n<p>Tired of this roller-coaster ride that is the fluctuating oil prices?
