Fuel Prices for August 2025
As per the official announcement, the following prices will be applicable from August 1, 2025, across all emirates in the UAE:
Diesel: AED 2.78 per litre
Super 98 petrol: AED 2.69 per litre
Special 95 petrol: AED 2.57 per litre
E-Plus 91 petrol: AED 2.50 per litre
These new rates reflect small adjustments in line with changes in the global oil market.
What Is Diesel and Why the Price Matters
Diesel is mostly used in trucks, buses, and big transport vehicles. It plays a very important role in keeping the supply of goods moving around the country. For August 2025, diesel is priced at AED 2.78 per litre. This rate will directly affect logistics companies, delivery services, and public transport operations.
When diesel becomes expensive, the cost of transporting goods can go up, which can affect prices of products in supermarkets and stores. On the other hand, if diesel prices are lower, it can help reduce delivery costs for businesses.
Super 98 Petrol – For High-Performance Vehicles
Super 98 is a premium-grade petrol, usually used in luxury cars and high-performance engines. The new price for Super 98 is AED 2.69 per litre for August 2025.
This fuel type is designed for engines that require a higher octane rating. People who drive sports cars, luxury SUVs, or premium sedans usually choose Super 98. Even a small price change can make a difference for those who drive long distances daily.
Special 95 Petrol – The Most Common Choice
Special 95 is the most popular petrol type used in the UAE. It is suitable for most regular cars. The approved price for August 2025 is AED 2.57 per litre.
This is the petrol type that affects the majority of daily drivers in the UAE. Any increase or decrease in the price of Special 95 is closely watched by residents, as it directly affects the monthly budget for commuting and travel.
E-Plus 91 – For Smaller Engines
E-Plus 91 is mainly used in smaller cars and older vehicles with low engine compression. It’s also slightly cheaper than other petrol types. For August 2025, the price is set at AED 2.50 per litre.
This fuel option gives a more affordable choice to drivers of compact cars and is ideal for those who use their vehicles less often or travel short distances.
Why Fuel Prices Change Every Month in the UAE
In the UAE, fuel prices are not fixed all year long. They change every month based on international oil prices. The Fuel Price Committee in the UAE meets every month to look at how oil prices are moving around the world. Then, they adjust the local prices to match those trends.
This system was introduced in August 2015, and since then, fuel prices in the UAE have been linked to global oil market rates. This allows transparency and ensures that residents benefit when international prices drop, and also share the burden when prices rise.
How These Prices Affect Everyone in Daily Life
Fuel prices may seem like a small thing, but they impact many parts of life.
For drivers: Higher petrol means more spending on fuel every week.
For businesses: Transportation costs go up, so product prices might rise too.
For delivery services: Their expenses increase, which might lead to higher delivery fees.
For the environment: Some people may shift to electric vehicles or public transport to save money.
Because of this, many residents in the UAE keep a close watch on monthly fuel price updates. Even small price changes can affect family budgets, especially for those who commute daily or drive long distances.
Tips for Saving Fuel and Managing Costs
If you're worried about spending more on fuel, here are a few easy tips that can help:
Drive smoothly: Avoid sudden acceleration or harsh braking.
Check tyre pressure: Low pressure can make your car use more fuel.
Use cruise control: It can save fuel on highways.
Limit AC use: Air conditioning uses extra fuel.
Plan trips: Combine errands into one trip to save time and petrol.
By following simple habits, you can reduce the fuel you use and manage your monthly expenses better.
Understanding the Role of the Fuel Price Committee
The UAE Fuel Price Committee is responsible for announcing fuel rates each month. It is made up of experts who study global oil market data and local economic conditions. Their goal is to make fair decisions that keep the economy balanced while giving consumers updated fuel prices.
Their announcements are trusted and followed by all fuel stations in the UAE, including ADNOC, ENOC, and others.
When Are Fuel Prices Announced Each Month?
Fuel prices for the following month are usually announced during the last two days of the current month. For example, August 2025 prices were shared in the last days of July. The new prices come into effect on the 1st day of each new month.
Here is a quick summary of the UAE fuel prices for August 2025:
Diesel: AED 2.78 per litre
Super 98 petrol: AED 2.69 per litre
Special 95 petrol: AED 2.57 per litre
E-Plus 91 petrol: AED 2.50 per litre
These updated rates reflect the global oil pricing trends and the UAE’s policy of monthly fuel price adjustments. Everyone from daily drivers to business owners will be affected by these rates in one way or another. Keeping track of monthly changes can help you plan better and stay informed.
