Prices for all major fuel categories, including E-Plus 91, Special 95, Super 98, and diesel, will see notable decreases starting in February.
Price Cuts Across All Fuel Categories
- E-Plus 91: AED 2.34 per litre, down from AED 2.51 in December 2025.

A Reflection of Global Oil Price Movements
Fuel prices in the UAE are directly influenced by global oil price shifts. The UAE government’s decision to lift price controls in 2021, after the COVID-19 pandemic, has allowed market forces to dictate fuel rates. The 2026 price reductions reflect the continued adjustments in crude oil prices worldwide, benefiting drivers and businesses in the region.
