The new year in Qatar will feel a little bitter as fuel prices are set to go up starting January 1.

According to the new fuel prices issued by Qatar Petroleum, both petrol ad diesel will cost more, reported Gulf Times.

The price of Premium petrol will go up by five dirhams and will cost QR1.80 per litre. It used to cost QR1.75 in December, reported The Peninsula.

Super grade petrol will be costlier by five dirhams as well. The new price is set at QR1.85, up from QR1.80 this month.

Price of diesel will also increase by five dirhams in January. It will ow cost QR1.75 a litre as against QR1.70 in December.

Prices had risen in December as well. This is the highest-ever price for petrol after the Ministry started pegging the fuel prices to the international market.
When the first list was announced in June 2016 the premium petrol was QR1.20 per litre, super QR1.30 per litre and diesel QR1.40 per litre.
