- Location: Across the UAE

- Status: November 2026 rates awaiting announcement

- What’s next: New petrol and diesel rates expected on October 31, effective November 1
UAE petrol prices are set for another monthly revision on November 1, 2026, with motorists waiting for the latest announcement from the UAE Fuel Price Committee. The update comes after petrol prices increased by nearly 80% for some fuel grades between January and October, while diesel recorded an even bigger rise.
October’s rates remain the confirmed prices as of October 30. However, the November announcement could bring another change to household fuel expenses, transportation costs and businesses that depend on vehicles.
The latest revision follows several consecutive monthly increases, making the upcoming announcement particularly important for UAE residents who regularly fill up their vehicles.
How Much Have UAE Petrol Prices Increased Since January 2026?
Fuel prices have changed considerably since the beginning of 2026. According to the published monthly rates, all three petrol grades and diesel cost significantly more in October than they did in January.
E-Plus 91 recorded the highest percentage increase among petrol grades, rising by 79.9%. Diesel saw the largest overall increase at 88.2%.
Here is a comparison of the January and October 2026 rates:
| Fuel type | January 2026 | October 2026 | Increase |
|---|---|---|---|
| Super 98 | AED 2.53 | AED 4.40 | 73.9% |
| Special 95 | AED 2.42 | AED 4.28 | 76.9% |
| E-Plus 91 | AED 2.34 | AED 4.21 | 79.9% |
| Diesel | AED 2.55 | AED 4.80 | 88.2% |
All prices are per litre.
The figures show why the November fuel price announcement matters to motorists. Even a regular weekly visit to a petrol station now costs considerably more than it did at the start of the year.
How Much More Does It Cost to Fill a 60-Litre Tank?
The increase becomes clearer when comparing the cost of purchasing 60 litres of fuel in January and October.
| Fuel type | January cost | October cost | Extra cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Super 98 | AED 151.80 | AED 264 | AED 112.20 |
| Special 95 | AED 145.20 | AED 256.80 | AED 111.60 |
| E-Plus 91 | AED 140.40 | AED 252.60 | AED 112.20 |
| Diesel | AED 153 | AED 288 | AED 135 |
A motorist purchasing 60 litres of Super 98 now pays AED 112.20 more than in January. The additional expense is similar for Special 95 and E-Plus 91.
Diesel users face a higher difference of AED 135 for the same quantity.
These figures are illustrative comparisons rather than standard tank capacities. Actual filling costs depend on the vehicle’s tank size, fuel grade and the quantity purchased.
For residents who commute daily or regularly travel between emirates, these increases can make fuel a bigger part of their monthly household budget.
Why Have UAE Petrol Prices Increased for Three Consecutive Months?
UAE petrol and diesel prices increased in August, September and October 2026, following a reduction in July.
The monthly changes show how quickly fuel expenses have moved in recent months.
| Month | Super 98 | Special 95 | E-Plus 91 | Diesel |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| July | 3.40 | 3.29 | 3.21 | 3.60 |
| August | 3.60 | 3.49 | 3.41 | 3.80 |
| September | 3.80 | 3.69 | 3.61 | 4.30 |
| October | 4.40 | 4.28 | 4.21 | 4.80 |
All prices are in AED per litre.
The UAE introduced fuel price deregulation in August 2015. Since then, local petrol and diesel rates have been linked to international oil market movements.
The UAE Fuel Price Committee reviews rates every month, allowing local prices to reflect changes in global energy markets.
This system means motorists can experience both increases and reductions depending on market conditions. The July reduction earlier this year is one example of how rates can move in either direction.
Will Falling Global Oil Prices Affect UAE Petrol Rates in November?
International oil prices remain an important factor in the UAE’s monthly fuel price revisions. However, movements in crude oil markets do not translate directly into an immediate change at local petrol stations.
On October 29, Brent crude futures settled at $114.88 per barrel, down 0.38%. US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude also declined, settling at $102 per barrel, a drop of 0.76%, according to Reuters.
The decline followed renewed hopes of peace talks between the United States and Iran. However, concerns about possible supply disruptions in the Middle East continued to influence international energy markets.
These developments highlight the uncertainty surrounding oil prices ahead of the November announcement.
A single day’s decline does not guarantee cheaper petrol in the UAE. The Fuel Price Committee will determine the new monthly rates based on the applicable pricing review.
When Will UAE Petrol Prices for November 2026 Be Announced?
The UAE’s November petrol and diesel prices are expected to be announced on October 31, 2026. The revised rates are scheduled to take effect from November 1.
The announcement will cover all four fuel categories:
- Super 98
- Special 95
- E-Plus 91
- Diesel
Until the new rates are confirmed, October prices remain applicable across the UAE.
Motorists can check the latest rates through official UAE government information channels and fuel retailers once the announcement is published.
UAE Motorists and Businesses
The November fuel price revision matters beyond the cost of filling up a personal vehicle.
Higher petrol and diesel prices can increase operating expenses for delivery companies, transport operators and logistics businesses. Companies that depend on vehicle fleets may also need to account for changing fuel costs when managing their monthly budgets.
For residents, the impact is more direct. Daily commuters, families with multiple vehicles and people who regularly travel between emirates may notice a difference in their monthly spending.
The upcoming announcement will determine whether motorists face another increase or receive some relief after three consecutive monthly rises.
