UAE announces fuel price increases for September 2026

The UAE Fuel Price Committee has announced retail prices for petrol and diesel for September 2026, with prices of all fuel categories increasing compared with August. The revised rates will come into effect from September 1, 2026. Under the new rates, Super 98 petrol will cost Dh3.80 per litre, up from Dh3.60 in August. Special 95 petrol will be priced at Dh3.69 per litre, compared with Dh3.49 last month. E-Plus 91 petrol will cost Dh3.61 per litre, up from Dh3.41 in August, while diesel will be priced at Dh4.30 per litre, compared with Dh3.80 previously.

The new UAE fuel prices for September are:

Super 98: Dh3.80 per litre

Special 95: Dh3.69 per litre

E-Plus 91: Dh3.61 per litre

Diesel: Dh4.30 per litre

The UAE Fuel Price Committee reviews retail fuel prices at the end of each month, with adjustments linked to prevailing trends in global energy markets. The latest increase follows a rise in August after fuel prices declined in July. In August, Super 98 petrol was priced at Dh3.60 per litre, while Special 95 and E-Plus 91 were priced at Dh3.49 and Dh3.41 per litre, respectively. Diesel was priced at Dh3.80 per litre. Fuel prices had risen for four consecutive months before declining in July amid fluctuations in global oil markets. The latest increase means motorists across the UAE will face higher fuel expenses from September 1. Monthly changes in fuel prices can have a direct impact on household budgets and commuting costs, particularly for motorists who rely on private vehicles for their daily travel.
