How Saudi Arabia fuel pricing works

Saudi fuel prices have been deregulated since August 2015 - set monthly by a federal committee tracking world benchmarks plus a fixed local margin. Prices are uniform across all stations nationwide.

Worked example

A Riyadh commute of 80 km/day × 22 working days = 1,760 km/month. A typical sedan at 9 L/100km uses 158 L/month. At Octane 95 (SAR 2.33): SAR 369 per month, SAR 4,425 per year.
