Petrol and diesel prices in the UAE, updated on the first of every month when the fuel price committee announces them.

How UAE fuel prices are set
The UAE fuel price committee announces new prices at the end of each month, and they take effect on the first. Prices track international benchmarks, so they move with crude and refining margins rather than by government decision.
Prices are the same across all seven emirates.
FAQs
When do UAE fuel prices change?
On the first of every month. The committee announces the new rates in the last few days of the preceding month, and this page is updated the same day.
Are petrol prices the same in Dubai and Abu Dhabi?
Yes. Fuel prices are set nationally and are identical across all seven emirates.
Which petrol should I use?
Use the minimum octane your car's manufacturer specifies. Most cars sold in the UAE run correctly on Special 95; Super 98 only helps if the engine requires it.
