These prices are the highest price ever since the government liberalized retail fuel prices in August 2015.
According to the UAE government, the subsidies on fuel encourages higher consumption and lower conservation. That is why the UAE liberalized fuel prices so that they can help rationalize fuel consumption.

It was also meant to encourage the use of public transport in the long run, as well as the use of alternative fuels.
