Frequently asked questions

How often do UAE fuel prices change?

Once a month. The UAE Fuel Price Committee announces the next month's rates on the last day of each month, and they take effect on the 1st.

Are petrol prices the same in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah?

Yes. Retail rates are set nationally, so each grade costs the same at every station in all seven emirates.

Do the prices include VAT?

Yes. Published pump prices already include 5% VAT.

What is the highest Special 95 price on record here?

Within the data tracked on this site (from January 2025), the highest Special 95 rate was AED 4.28 per litre in October 2026 and the lowest AED 2.33 in February 2026.

Which grade should I use?

Use the octane your owner's manual recommends. Most everyday cars run fine on Special 95; Super 98 is mainly for high-performance engines that specify it.
