Motorists in the United Arab Emirates are waiting for the announcement from the UAE Fuel Price Committee, for September 2026. This announcement is expected in the few days of August. After months of changes linked to unstable global crude oil prices and the costs of refined products drivers are trying to figure out how any changes might affect their monthly fuel expenses.
For August 2026, fuel prices were set at AED 3.60 per liter for Super 98, AED 3.49 for Special 95, AED 3.41 for E-Plus 91, and AED 3.80 for Diesel. Industry analysts note that global crude price movements throughout August could prompt a minor shift in pump prices as the committee aligns local rates with international refined product averages.
Based on current August 2026 rates, filling up standard vehicle fuel tanks requires the following baseline expenditure:
| Vehicle Type | Average Tank Capacity | Super 98 (AED 3.60/L) | Special 95 (AED 3.49/L) | E-Plus 91 (AED 3.41/L) |
| Sedan / Compact | 50 Liters | AED 180.00 | AED 174.50 | AED 170.50 |
| Mid-Size SUV | 65 Liters | AED 234.00 | AED 226.85 | AED 221.65 |
| Large SUV / 4×4 | 80 Liters | AED 288.00 | AED 279.20 | AED 272.80 |
The UAE Fuel Price Committee typically reveals the finalized rates on the last day of the calendar month, with new prices taking effect at midnight across all ADNOC Distribution, ENOC, EPPCO, and Emarat service stations nationwide.
