September fuel prices in the UAE show a slight increase in petrol rates, while diesel prices have decreased notably/Representative Image
The UAE’s Fuel Price Committee has released the revised retail fuel prices for September 2025, reflecting minor increases across petrol categories and a welcome drop in diesel rates.
The new prices, which take effect on Sunday, September 1, show a modest rise of 1 fils in petrol types but a notable decrease of 12 fils in diesel compared to August.
Price breakdown: what motorists will pay in September
Here’s how fuel prices for September 2025 compare with August 2025:
- Super 98 petrol: Dh2.70 per litre
(up from Dh2.69 in August) - Special 95 petrol: Dh2.58 per litre
(up from Dh2.57 in August) - E-Plus 91 petrol: Dh2.51 per litre
(up from Dh2.50 in August) - Diesel: Dh2.66 per litre
(down from Dh2.78 in August)
| Super 98 | AED 2.69 | AED 2.70 | ↑ 1 fils |
| Special 95 | AED 2.57 | AED 2.58 | ↑ 1 fils |
| E-Plus 91 | AED 2.50 | AED 2.51 | ↑ 1 fils |
| Diesel | AED 2.78 | AED 2.66 | ↓ 12 fils |
While petrol prices have seen a marginal increase of 1 fils per litre across all grades, diesel prices dropped by 12 fils, reversing last month’s significant jump.
Understanding how UAE fuel prices are set
Fuel pricing in the UAE follows a deregulated model introduced in August 2015, which links local petrol and diesel rates to international oil prices.
This policy ensures transparency and aligns retail prices with global market conditions.Each month, the UAE Fuel Price Committee reviews global trends and announces new rates—typically during the final days of the month. These rates take effect from the 1st day of the following month.This approach means UAE motorists feel the impact of both upswings and drops in the international energy market, encouraging more efficient fuel usage while maintaining pricing fairness.
