UAE fuel prices rise from 1 October, adding 60 fils a litre to petrol and 50 fils to diesel. The new rates affect motorists, delivery services, commercial transport and other businesses whose costs depend on road travel. The official notice confirms the pump prices but does not quantify the wider household or business impact.

The details

The UAE Fuel Prices Follow-up Committee announced October 2026 rates on 30 September. E-Plus 91 is AED4.21 per litre, Special 95 is AED4.28, Super 98 is AED4.40 and diesel is AED4.80. The rates take effect on 1 October under the monthly pricing mechanism. The change directly affects motorists, delivery services, commercial transport and businesses whose costs depend on road travel.

The October pricing notice confirms the amounts that motorists and businesses will see at the pump. The increase applies across the three petrol grades, while the diesel change is relevant to commercial vehicles, logistics operators and delivery services.

The announcement confirms the rate change but does not quantify the wider effect on household budgets, fares or business costs. Those effects will vary according to mileage, vehicle type and operating model.
