These prices will remain in effect from 01 September to 30 September 2026. These new prices have arrived shortly after the UAE exited OPEC in a move which is expected to stabilise fuel prices in the mid to long-term. The impact of this historic move is now visible in fuel prices as the UAE can independently control how much oil it produces.

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.
