Petrol Prices Dip Slightly
- Super 98 dropped by 1 fils (from AED 2.70 in July)
- Special 95 also down by 1 fils
- E-Plus 91 saw a minimal decline
These small reductions reflect slightly eased crude oil prices in July, hovering around $81/barrel.
Diesel Price Jumps Sharply
The standout change this month is diesel, which rose from AED 2.63 to AED 2.78 per litre — a 15 fils increase. This is due to:
- Global freight demand surge
- Higher summer industrial usage
- Supply adjustments in global markets
Monthly Price Trend Comparison
| Month | Super 98 | Special 95 | E-Plus 91 | Diesel |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| July 2025 | 2.70 | 2.58 | 2.51 | 2.63 |
| August 2025 | 2.69 | 2.57 | 2.50 | 2.78 |
What It Means for Drivers
- Commuters & residents: Can enjoy slight savings on petrol
- Businesses: Diesel cost may affect logistics, shipping, and transport sectors
- Travelers & delivery drivers: Diesel hike may impact pricing indirectly
Why Does UAE Change Fuel Prices Monthly?
Since 2015, UAE fuel prices have been adjusted monthly based on:
- Global Brent crude prices
- Import/export costs
- Refining and distribution factors
This aligns with international markets and ensures transparent fuel pricing for residents.
Final Thoughts
While petrol users get a slight break this August, the diesel hike may pinch heavy vehicle owners and logistics firms. It’s always a good idea to stay updated at the start of each month to plan fuel budgets better.
