Frequently asked questions
- Which Gulf country has the cheapest petrol?
- In US-dollar terms Kuwait and Saudi Arabia are consistently the cheapest, and the UAE the most expensive of the six, because the UAE applies a higher retail price including VAT. The comparison table on each country page converts every price to dollars so the six are comparable.
- How often do petrol prices change in the Gulf?
- Once a month. Every Gulf state reviews retail fuel prices on a monthly cycle and publishes the next month's figures in the last days of the current one. This page is rebuilt after each announcement.
- Are these prices official?
- Yes. Each country page links the government or national-oil-company source the price was read from and prints the date it was checked. Where the official statement was only readable through a newspaper, the page says so explicitly.
How this page is updated
Fuel prices are not scraped. Each month the official announcement is recorded in hub/data/fuel.json with its source URL and the date it was checked, and the page is rebuilt from that file. If a month's price cannot be verified from an official source, the page shows no number rather than an estimate.
