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 8 more. For a 120-litre fuel tank, consumers will have to pay AED 24 more for a full tank compared to July 2026. Intrigued by fuel tank sizes?

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.
