A controversial new fuel pricing scheme has been introduced, imposing steep penalties for high consumption by setting a monthly threshold of 110 litres. Households exceeding this limit will face dramatically higher costs, with prices surging to 100,000 riyals per litre—a sharp increase from current rates. The policy aims to curb excessive usage but has sparked concerns over affordability and potential hardship for heavy users. Critics question whether the measure will effectively reduce consumption or simply strain household budgets.
New fuel pricing targets consumption above 110 litres monthly, doubling costs to 100,000 riyals per litre.
