UAE Petrol Prices: A Year of Fluctuations

This past year has been a rollercoaster ride for petrol prices in the UAE, reflecting the broader trends in the global oil market. As we prepare to welcome the new year with celebrations and resolutions, it’s also time to look at the latest updates in fuel pricing. December saw petrol and diesel prices hit their lowest levels for the year, raising hopes for a continued decline as we step into January.

Effective from Wednesday, January 1, the new petrol prices in Dubai are as follows:

• Super 98: Dhs2.61 per litre
• Special 95: Dhs2.50 per litre
• E-Plus 91: Dhs2.43 per litre
• Diesel: Dhs2.68 per litre

The UAE federal government, through its petroleum firm Emarat, announces petrol prices on the last day of each month. Throughout 2024, prices peaked in May before beginning a steady decline, with December recording the lowest rates of the year. Below, we provide a comprehensive overview of how petrol prices have fluctuated throughout 2024.

Since the liberalization of fuel prices in 2015, local rates have been closely aligned with global oil prices. The fuel price committee convenes each month to review and announce revised rates. This approach is intended to not only reflect market conditions but also to encourage residents to consider public transport and alternative fuels as viable options.
