The UAE Fuel Price Committee announced prices for petrol and diesel in the country for April 2025, and the prices have been reduced once again. This news will come as a relief to motorists as other new charges, such as Salik toll price hike and increased RTA parking rates, were introduced from January 1, 2025.
This decrease in cost applies across all petrol variants of Super 98, Special 95 and E-Plus. Moreover, this has been the lowest fuel rate in over a year. UAE fuel prices have so fra followed a downward trend in 2025 except for an increase in February following a price freeze in December 2024 and January 2025.
April 2024 fuel prices in UAE
In comparison to March, the price of Super 98 petrol will be AED 2.57 per litre. Special 95 will cost you AED 2.46 and E-Plus fuel’s price will be AED 2.38 per litre.
In March, Super 98 cost AED 2.73 per litre, Special 95 cost AED 2.61 per litre and E-Plus 91 cost AED 2.54 per litre.
What about the cost of diesel?
Prices of diesel too will reduce costing only 2.63 per litre in April from March’s AED 2.77 per litre.
So, if you haven’t topped up on petrol yet, don’t worry. You’ll save those dirhams once the calendar rolls switches to April and prices for a full tank drop!
What affects petrol price in the UAE?
In 2015, the UAE liberalised fuel prices so that petrol prices in the country reflect the global oil rates and market fluctuations. The UAE Ministry of Energy, which sets these prices, aims to reduce the country’s carbon emissions, preserve natural resources and encourage residents to use public transport.
Fuel prices fluctuated massively throughout 2023 and hit the maximum rate on October 2023 at 3.44 per litre. However, it was in July 2022 that UAE petrol prices recorded a historic high, surging at AED 4.63 per litre.
