For the first time in 2026 and the second time in history, fuel prices have crossed the AED 4/litre mark. It is also the second-highest price per litre of petrol after July 2022. October 2026 petrol prices are just AED 0.23/litre short of the all-time high petrol prices of July 2022! These prices will remain in effect from 01 October to 31 October 2026.

With the petrol price increasing, the per-kilometre running costs will also increase. For a 40-litre fuel tank, one would have to pay AED 24 more. For a 120-litre fuel tank, consumers will have to pay AED 72 more for a full tank compared to September 2026. Intrigued by fuel tank sizes? Here’s a list of the cars with the biggest fuel tanks and cars with the smallest fuel tanks.
How Is Petrol Price Decided?
Before 2015, the government highly subsidised fuel prices. This protected prices from fluctuating. However, in September 2015, it was liberalised to align with global oil prices. Now, with global crude oil prices fluctuating due to the ongoing crisis, fuel prices have also fluctuated in the last few months. The Fuel Price Committee decides fuel prices in the UAE, and we can expect more changes over the next few months.
