UAE Petrol, Diesel Prices See Hike – December 2025 Rates Announced
The UAE Fuel Price Committee has released the new fuel tariffs for December 2025. Effective from December 1, motorists across the Emirates will see the following updated pump prices – a modest increase compared with November.
Super 98 petrol – AED 2.70 per litre (up from AED 2.63 in November)
Special 95 petrol – AED 2.58 per litre (from AED 2.51)
E-Plus 91 petrol – AED 2.51 per litre (from AED 2.44)
Diesel – AED 2.85 per litre (from AED 2.67)
Why the Change?
The UAE adopted a deregulated fuel-pricing policy in 2015, aligning domestic fuel prices with global crude oil rates. This monthly adjustment mechanism reflects fluctuations in international oil markets along with exchange rates and local distribution costs.
As a result, the pump price updates – though modest – are passed on transparently to end-users each month.
What This Means for Drivers & Consumers
For everyday motorists, the increase will slightly raise the cost of refueling – especially for those topping up 50-70 litre tanks.
Price changes help link local fuel costs to world prices, making the market more transparent and consistent for buyers.
Aligning the domestic fuel market with global trends through price adjustments offers consumers greater transparency and a more predictable pricing environment.
Market-reflective pricing allows local fuel costs to mirror international trends, leading to a clearer and more stable outlook for consumers.
These price modifications ensure the local market is in sync with international energy trends, which increases market transparency and consistency.
