The UAE Fuel Price Committee has announced the new fuel prices for the month of September 2025. The committee approved the following prices, which will be effective from September 1 through the end of the month: Super 98 petrol is priced at AED2.70 per litre, marking a slight increase from AED2.69 in August. Special 95 petrol will cost AED2.58 per litre, up from AED2.57 last month. E-Plus 91 petrol is set at AED2.51 per litre, a marginal rise from AED2.50 in August. Diesel prices, however, have decreased to AED2.66 per litre from AED2.78 in August.

These adjustments reflect the committee’s ongoing strategy to align fuel prices with the average global prices of oil while considering operating costs for distribution companies. Petrol prices have seen a modest increase of one fils for most fuel types, whereas diesel experienced a notable decrease of 12 fils compared to the previous month.

For vehicle owners, this means the cost of filling up a tank will be slightly higher for petrol but lower for diesel compared to August. For instance, filling a 51-litre tank with Super 98 petrol will cost around AED137.70, up from AED137.19 last month. Similarly, the cost for Special 95 and E-Plus 91 for the same tank size will be AED131.58 and AED128.01 respectively. Diesel fuel will cost AED165.46 for a 62-litre tank in September, down from AED172.36 in August.

Competitive pricing

The committee reviews fuel prices monthly, which helps stabilize transportation costs and control inflation. The UAE continues to maintain fuel prices among the lowest globally, making it one of the 25 countries with the most affordable petrol rates worldwide.

The UAE Fuel Price Committee’s pricing approach takes into account fluctuations in global crude oil prices while ensuring operational cost coverage for supply companies. This pricing mechanism has been in place since early 2021 when the government lifted controls imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic to allow market dynamics to determine local fuel rates.
