So, here’s the scoop: petrol prices have inched up by just 1 fils per litre compared to April. So while it’s not exactly a budget buster, it’s still enough to make you side-eye your fuel gauge a little more often. Thinking of switching to public transport? Maybe hold off a bit – especially in this heat. Your car’s AC is still worth every drop. Oh, and diesel drivers, rejoice! You’re actually catching a break this month.

Alight, no more rambling – here’s what you actually came for:

Starting May 1, fuel prices are doing a little shuffle – Super 98’s going up to AED 2.58 per litre (just a 1 fils bump from AED 2.57) and Special 95’s nudging up to AED 2.47. As for E-Plus 91 – it will stand at AED 2.39 (up from AED 2.38). Barely noticeable for some? Maybe. But hey, every fils counts these days!

Now, here’s some news that diesel drivers will love. As most of you’ve guessed by now, diesel’s actually dropping to AED 2.52 per litre this May, down from AED 2.63 in April. A tiny win, but we’ll take what we get, right?

So, whether you’re topping up before your daily commute or planning a weekend road trip, now you know what you’re in for. Just remember to drive smart, stay cool, and maybe keep those spontaneous long drives on standby – for now.
