Fuel prices in Arab countries

Pick your country to see the price of each petrol and diesel grade, the date of the last change, the price before it and the official source. We take prices from official announcements and update them after every change.

Sayarti+ is an independent app, not affiliated with any government entity. Prices are for reference; the pump price is final.

How to read the price cards

  • The big number: the price per litre of the country's most used grade, in its own currency.

  • Updated: the last time we checked the price; the country page also shows the date the price took effect.

  • Source: who announced the price, with a link to the announcement on the country page.

  • Coming soon: we haven't verified the price yet, so we show no number until we have.

What does 100 km of fuel cost in each country?

Price alone doesn't compare well. The clearer question is: what do I pay to drive 100 km? We work it out for a mid-size sedan using 10 litres per 100 km, on each country's main grade, then convert it to Saudi riyals and US dollars so you compare in one currency.

Saudi Arabia and Egypt in brief

Saudi Arabia

Two petrol grades, 91 and 95, plus diesel. Prices are reviewed periodically, and we update the page after each announcement with the effective date. We also show the USD price for anyone comparing from outside the Kingdom.

Egypt

Three petrol grades, 80, 92 and 95, plus diesel and natural gas for cars per cubic metre. We show prices before and after the last change, in Saudi riyals and US dollars, and a calculator for when a CNG conversion pays back.

What the number means: 80, 91, 92, 95

The number is the octane rating: how well the fuel resists igniting too early inside the engine (knock). It isn't a measure of power or cleanliness. The right grade for your car is the one in its owner's manual, usually printed on the fuel cap. A higher number doesn't add power to a car built for a lower one and doesn't save fuel; it just costs more. A lower number than required can cause knocking and poor performance.

FAQ

FAQ

Where do these prices come from?

From each country's official announcement. The source and effective date are under every table.

How often are prices updated?

After every official change. Some countries change prices monthly, others every few months or less often.

Why show prices in SAR and USD?

So you can compare countries in one currency. We convert at our latest exchange rate and show its date and source under the table.

Where is petrol cheaper: Saudi Arabia or Egypt?

Compare the cost of 100 km in SAR or USD in the table above; it uses the latest official price and exchange rate, both dated. The ranking changes whenever a price or the exchange rate changes.

Should I use 95 instead of 91 or 92?

Only if your owner's manual asks for it. A higher number doesn't add power to a car built for a lower grade or cut its consumption; it just costs more.

Can I get an alert when prices change?

Yes, in the Sayarti+ app: turn on price alerts for your country and you'll get a notification at every change. When you log a fill-up, the form fills in the price per litre with the last price you paid for that fuel grade, or, if there is none, the official price in your car's country.
