The UAE Fuel Price Committee approved the fuel prices for August 2025, the Emirates News Agency (WAM) reported. After a slight increase in July, prices will remain largely unchanged in August.
The prices are set as follows:
- Diesel: AED2.78 per litre.
- Super “98”: AED2.69 per litre.
- Special “95”: AED2.57 per litre.
- E-Plus “91”: AED2.50 per litre.
Fuel prices in the UAE are reviewed and adjusted on a monthly basis by the UAE Fuel Price Committee, which considers global oil market trends, supply and demand dynamics, and regional geopolitical factors. This committee operates under the supervision of the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure and plays a crucial role in ensuring that fuel costs reflect the prevailing international crude oil prices while also supporting economic stability within the country.

According to the latest reporting from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), crude oil prices have experienced moderate fluctuations throughout 2025, influenced by varying production quotas and geopolitical tensions in key oil-producing regions. The International Energy Agency (IEA) also provides insights into global fuel consumption patterns, indicating a gradual shift towards cleaner energy sources, though petroleum products like diesel and gasoline remain essential for transportation and industry in the UAE and wider Middle East region.
Recent statistical data from the UAE’s Federal Competitiveness and Statistics Authority shows continued demand for fuel despite growing adoption of electric vehicles and renewable energy projects, indicating the sector’s importance in the nation’s economic fabric. The Price Committee’s careful balancing act helps mitigate inflationary pressures while managing government subsidy burdens.
