The UAE Fuel Price Committee announced prices for petrol and diesel in the country for July 2025, and the prices have increased by a minuscule amount.
This AED 0.12 increase in cost applies across all petrol variants of Super 98, Special 95 and E-Plus. UAE fuel prices have so far followed an upward trend in 2025 except for a drop in April 2025 marking the UAE’s lowest fuel rate in over a year. This came on the heels of a price freeze in December 2024 and January 2025.

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.
