Filling up your car at the petrol pumps in August will cost slightly more than it did in July.
Enoc today released the fuel prices, inclusive of VAT, for next month.
The price of Super 98 and Special 95 is up by a fil per litre, while the price of diesel will decreases by 3 fils.
Here's the breakdown:
• Super 98: Dh2.57 a litre (up from Dh2.56 in July)
• Special 95: Dh2.46 (up from Dh2.45)
• Diesel: Dh2.63 (down from Dh2.66)
Since the start of the year, the price at the petrol pumps has been steadily increasing, despite a blip in July.
Fuel prices were liberalised about two years ago, so they now move with the market.

Treaty of Peace in Perpetuity Agreed Upon by the Chiefs of the Arabian Coast on Behalf of Themselves, Their Heirs and Successors Under the Mediation of the Resident of the Persian Gulf, 1853
(This treaty gave the region the name “Trucial States”.)
We, whose seals are hereunto affixed, Sheikh Sultan bin Suggar, Chief of Rassool-Kheimah, Sheikh Saeed bin Tahnoon, Chief of Aboo Dhebbee, Sheikh Saeed bin Buyte, Chief of Debay, Sheikh Hamid bin Rashed, Chief of Ejman, Sheikh Abdoola bin Rashed, Chief of Umm-ool-Keiweyn, having experienced for a series of years the benefits and advantages resulting from a maritime truce contracted amongst ourselves under the mediation of the Resident in the Persian Gulf and renewed from time to time up to the present period, and being fully impressed, therefore, with a sense of evil consequence formerly arising, from the prosecution of our feuds at sea, whereby our subjects and dependants were prevented from carrying on the pearl fishery in security, and were exposed to interruption and molestation when passing on their lawful occasions, accordingly, we, as aforesaid have determined, for ourselves, our heirs and successors, to conclude together a lasting and inviolable peace from this time forth in perpetuity.
