UAE fuel prices are at an eight-month low, prompting authorities in Ajman to announce a taxi fare reduction.

Ajman Transport reports that the taxi meter will charge Dh1.82 per kilometer.

Taxi tariff in Ajman is linked to the fuel prices announced at the end of every month by a UAE committee. The fares increased in July as fuel prices went up, but have been dropping ever since as petrol rates have been slashed.

With fuel prices dropping by as much as 38 fils per litre, residents stand to save about Dh28.12 on a full tank this month as compared to last month.

Starting October 1, Super 98 petrol will cost 3.03 a litre, compared to Dh3.41 in September. Special 95 petrol will cost 2.92 per litre, compared to Dh3.30 in September. E-Plus 91 petrol will cost 2.85 a litre, compared to Dh3.22 a litre last month, while diesel will be charged at 3.76 a litre compared to Dh3.87 in September.
