Self-Service Petrol Stations in Dubai

Recently some petrol stations in Dubai have been trying out self-service petrol pumps. Today I happened to stop at one such petrol station for a fill-up.

It was not a new experience for me as I have been using self-service pumps when I was in the US, so it went pretty smooth.

The only thing that I didn’t like was that the fuel cost the same as full-service petrol stations.

So what’s the point? If the petrol station is saving the cost of labor to fill-up the fuel tank then some of those savings should be extended to the customer, and if I have to get out of the car in Dubai heat to fill-up my car myself, then it’s only worth it when I am saving a few bucks.

I know it’s a trial period and all but this will only work when customers will see some money being saved by going to self-service stations. Otherwise they will conveniently drive to a full-service and get a fill-up without leaving the comfort of their car.
