Calculation Methodology & Legal Basis

Fuel prices in the UAE are deregulated and adjusted monthly by the Fuel Price Committee under the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure. This tool computes total litres needed: Distance (km) / (100 / Fuel Consumption L/100km) multiplied by official pump rate.

Worked Example

Commuting 40 km each way (80 km/day, ~2,000 km/month) in a car consuming 8.0 L/100km uses 160 litres. At Special 95 (~AED 2.66/L), monthly fuel cost is approximately AED 425.60.
