• Super 98: Dh2.33 a litre
• Special 95: Dh2.22

Fuel prices were liberalised about two years ago and now prices move with the market. Prices in the UAE fell about 1 per cent when the previous announcement was made for sales from March 1.
Brent for May settlement dropped 47 cents to $69.64 a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange this morning.
The oil price has risen in seven out of the last nine months and has increased by more than 4 per cent this year, making this the third consecutive quarter of gains, which is the longest stretch since late 2010, Reuters reported.
