Residents in Dubai are currently facing long queues at petrol stations, with wait times extending up to one hour, as they rush to fill their vehicles before an anticipated price increase in April.
Reasons for the Rush
Motorists have started queuing as early as 8 pm to benefit from significant cost savings which range from Dh40 for smaller cars to over Dh100 for larger SUVs. This surge in demand is attributed to the upcoming fuel price hike that will take effect soon, prompting both large and small vehicle owners to refuel ahead of time.
Impact on Petrol Stations
- Noticeable lines have formed at multiple petrol stations across Dubai.
- Stations are managing a high volume of customers to maintain smooth service despite the heavy demand.
- The increased wait times reflect residents’ sensitivity to fuel prices and their efforts to control expenses.
As the situation evolves, residents are advised to plan accordingly and stay informed through trusted updates. For continuous coverage, stay tuned to Questiqa World News.
