The UAE is set to announce petrol prices for February 2025 later this week.
Petrol prices were frozen in January, as the UAE announced there would be no change for motorists filling up on Super 98, Special 95, E-Plus 91 and diesel.
It is cheaper to fill up a tank than at the start of the year, with all categories becoming more affordable, despite prices fluctuating throughout the past 12 months.
UAE petrol prices 2025
In January 2024, E-Plus 91 was priced at AED2.64 a litre, while diesel was set at AED3 a litre.
On current prices, E-Plus 91 is cheaper (at AED2.43 a litre) than at the start of last year.
Special 95 and Super 98 are also cheaper now than at the start of the year, falling from AED2.71 to AED2.50 a litre and AED2.82 to 2.61 a litre respectively.
From January 1, the cost of filling up vehicles in the UAE has been:
- Diesel: AED2.68 a litre as in December 2024
- Super 98: AED2.61 a litre as in December 2024
- Special 95: AED2.50 a litre as in December 2024
- E-Plus: AED2.43 a litre as in December 2024
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.
