The UAE fuel price committee announced on December 31, 2025, that petrol and diesel prices would fall starting January 1, 2026. This change reverses the price hike seen in December and brings a clear drop in all fuel categories. The new rates are: Super 98 petrol at Dh2.53 per litre, down from Dh2.70; Special 95 petrol at Dh2.42, down from Dh2.58; E-Plus 91 petrol at Dh2.34, down from Dh2.51; and diesel at Dh2.55, down from Dh2.85. Since fuel was deregulated in 2015, prices have been set monthly to match global market trends. The December rise was short-lived, as January starts with welcome savings. These changes show the UAE's commitment to transparency and keeping fuel prices aligned with the world market. This cut means motorists and transport businesses will start the new year paying less at the pump.
