The UAE Fuel Price Committee approved the fuel prices for September 2025 as follows according to the Emirates News Agency. Diesel will be sold at AED 2.66 per litre. Super 98 petrol will cost AED 2.70 per litre. Special 95 will be priced at AED 2.58 per litre while E-Plus 91 will be available for AED 2.51 per litre. These rates will come into force on September 1 and will remain in effect for the entire month.
These rates distributed by WAM will come into force on September 1 and will remain in effect for the entire month. The committee bases its decisions on average international oil prices over the preceding period. This monthly adjustment process has been in place since the liberalisation of fuel prices in 2015. Motorists across the seven emirates will see these rates at retail outlets operated by major distributors including ADNOC Distribution.
Arabian Business reported that similar prices were recorded in December 2025 for most fuel grades. The data places E-Plus 91 at AED 2.51 special 95 at AED 2.58 and super 98 at AED 2.70 in that month. Diesel was listed at AED 2.85 for December. By contrast prices had risen markedly by August 2026 amid regional geopolitical developments.
The August 2026 rates stood at AED 3.41 for E-Plus 91 AED 3.49 for special 95 AED 3.60 for super 98 and AED 3.80 for diesel according to figures published by Arabian Business. Such increases followed a period of lower prices in early 2026. The committee’s announcement for September 2025 preceded those shifts in the market.
The Fuel Price Committee also froze prices during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 Arabian Business noted in its coverage of UAE fuel trends. This freeze lasted for several months to support the economy during the global health crisis. Regular monthly revisions were later reinstated. The current system allows for prompt response to changes in the global oil market.
Industry data indicates that the UAE maintains one of the more competitive fuel pricing regimes in the GCC despite the adjustments. The monthly announcements by the committee provide transparency for consumers and businesses alike. Fleet operators and individual drivers can calculate their expected costs based on these published rates well in advance.
