UAE petrol prices to change for December 2024

Petrol prices went up across the country in November, as motorists were handed a slight increase for Super 98, Special 95, E-Plus 91 and diesel.

It is cheaper to fill up a tank than a year ago and prices have fluctuated throughout the past 12 months.

In January 2024, E-Plus 91 was priced at AED2.64 a litre, while diesel was set at AED3 a litre.

Despite the price increase last month, E-Plus 91 is still cheaper (at AED2.55 a litre) than at the start of the year.

Special 95 and Super 98 are also cheaper now than at the start of the year, falling from AED2.71 to AED2.63 a litre and AED2.82 to 2.74 a litre respectively.

From November 1, the cost of filling up vehicles in the UAE has been:

• Diesel: AED2.67 a litre from AED2.60 in October
• Super 98: AED2.74 a litre from AED2.66 in October
• Special 95: AED2.63 a litre from AED2.54 in October
• E-Plus: AED2.55 a litre from AED2.47 in October

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.
