In September 2024, E-Plus 91 was priced at AED2.71 a litre, while diesel was set at AED2.78 a litre.

On current prices, E-Plus 91 is cheaper (at AED2.51 a litre) than at this time last year.

Special 95 and Super 98 are also cheaper now than a year ago, falling from AED2.78 to AED2.58 a litre and AED2.90 to 2.69 a litre respectively.

Since September 1, the cost of filling up vehicles in the UAE has been:

• E-Plus: AED2.51 a litre from AED2.50 in August
• Special 95: AED2.58 a litre from AED2.57 in August
• Super 98: AED2.70 a litre from AED2.69 in August
• Diesel: AED2.66 a litre from AED2.78 in August

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the Fuel Price Committee froze petrol prices in the UAE, preventing any changes.

However, in March 2021, as global oil prices began to rise, the controls were lifted to allow market forces to determine petrol prices once again.

Moreover, the fluctuation in petrol prices is also influenced by changes in crude oil prices worldwide.
