Price of gas in Abu Dhabi and the UAE

Oops ... the car was running low on gas. I had heard all about how cheap the fuel in the middle east was, after all people say its cheaper then drinking water, so this was my first visit to a petrol kiosk in Abu Dhabi!


Expect full service, they have attendants serving each and every car here. Nice!

A full tank of gas for a large MPV such as a Toyota Estima or Previa is ... 74 AED here (That's RM$72 ... not bad eh!).
OK, here's the math :-)
1 litre of premium unleaded in the UAE is ...
RM$ 1.334
GBP 0.233
Euro 0.269
USD$ 0.374
Or, if you want to do the math in gallons ... 1 gallon of premium unleaded in the UAE is ...
RM$ 6.071 , or GBP 1.058 , or Euro 1.223 , or USD$1.701

Cheers Derek! Good comparison there :-)

So which do you prefer ... the CRV or Rav-4? I like the Hummer H3 best, I wish!
