Thinking about filling up your tank soon? UAE Petrol prices might drop a little
UAE petrol prices might dip slightly in September if global oil prices remain steady. With OPEC+ ramping up production and crude prices holding their ground, drivers could notice a bit of relief at the pump come October.
If the trend continues, a modest drop in fuel costs could be on the horizon for UAE motorists next month. Here’s the full picture.
Oil prices on the move
Global oil prices have been trending downward following OPEC+’s decision to boost production starting September. Brent crude recently dipped to around $65 a barrel (approx. Dhs238), while WTI hovered near $63.66 (Dhs233).
Although there’s been a slight rebound in recent days, the combo of increased supply and slower global demand is helping keep prices relatively stable for now.
How UAE petrol prices are set
Petrol prices in the UAE are reviewed monthly by the Fuel Price Committee, with new rates announced on the last day of each month and taking effect on the first day of the next.
The committee bases its decisions on global oil market trends, directly linking what drivers pay at the pump to international price movements.
Current prices (August 2025)
Here’s what motorists are currently paying:
- Super 98: Dhs2.69 per litre
- Special 95: Dhs2.57 per litre
- E-Plus 91: Dhs2.50 per litre
- Diesel: Dhs2.78 per litre
Compared to July 2025
- Super 98: Dhs2.70 per litre
- Special 95: Dhs2.58 per litre
- E-Plus 91: Dhs2.51 per litre
- Diesel:Â Dhs2.63 per litre
What could happen in September
If oil prices stay where they are—or dip a little more—we could see a slight drop in petrol prices this September. The official rates will be revealed when the Fuel Price Committee makes its announcement on Sunday, August 31.
With more cars on UAE roads as the population grows, fuel prices matter more than ever. Even minor shifts at the pump can impact families and daily commuters across the country.
