UAE fuel price history by month
Every monthly price since the UAE deregulated fuel prices in August 2015. Open a year to see each month. A blank E-Plus 91 cell means the price was not published for that month.
How UAE fuel prices are set
Since August 2015 the UAE has linked local fuel prices to global oil prices. The UAE Fuel Price Committee, chaired by the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure, reviews prices every month and announces the next month’s rates near the end of the current month. New prices apply from the 1st and are the same at ADNOC, ENOC and Emarat stations across the country. Since January 2018 the published prices include 5% VAT.

FAQs
When are UAE petrol prices announced?
The UAE Fuel Price Committee announces the next month’s prices near the end of each month, usually on the last day. The new rates apply from the 1st of the month and stay fixed until the next review.
Do UAE fuel prices include VAT?
Yes. Since 1 January 2018 the official pump prices include 5% VAT, so the price on the pump is the price you pay.
What was the highest petrol price in the UAE?
The highest monthly Super 98 price since prices were deregulated in 2015 was AED 4.63 a litre in July 2022. Diesel peaked at AED 4.80 a litre in October 2026.
What was the lowest petrol price in the UAE?
The lowest Super 98 price since August 2015 was AED 1.47 a litre in March 2016.
Which fuel should I use in my car?
Use the minimum octane rating in your owner’s manual or on the inside of the fuel flap. Many everyday cars run on Special 95 or E-Plus 91, while many performance cars need Super 98. Using a higher grade than required does not usually add power.
