The UAE petrol prices for October 2026 have risen across all gasoline categories, boosting the cost of fuelling up automobiles around the nation. The UAE Fuel Price Committee has approved increased rates for petrol and diesel, with the new prices representing a rise from September 2026.
The revised prices apply to Super 98, Special 95, and E-Plus 91 fuel, as well as diesel. Motorists will pay more per litre under the revised gasoline pricing scheme, which adjusts local rates monthly to reflect changes in worldwide oil costs.
UAE Petrol Prices October 2026: New Rates Per Litre
The current fuel prices reflect an increase in all four major fuel categories. Super 98 fuel is the most costly of the three petrol classes, while diesel has also increased in price.
The updated UAE fuel and diesel prices for October 2026 are:
|
Fuel Type |
October 2026 |
September 2026 |
|---|---|---|
|
Super 98 |
AED 4.40 |
AED 3.80 |
|
Special 95 |
AED 4.28 |
AED 3.69 |
|
E-Plus 91 |
AED 4.21 |
AED 3.61 |
|
Diesel |
AED 4.80 |
AED 4.30 |
Super 98 fuel has increased by AED 0.60 per litre, while Special 95 has risen by AED 0.59. The price of E-Plus 91 has risen by AED 0.60 per litre, while diesel has increased by AED 0.50.
These changes imply that motorists will pay more money on petrol in October, especially those who travel long distances or drive vehicles with high fuel consumption.
Why UAE Fuel Prices Change Every Month
The UAE Fuel Price Committee reviews fuel prices on a monthly basis. The committee releases updated rates around the end of each month, and the new prices typically take effect on the beginning of the next month.
The UAE liberalised gasoline pricing in 2015. Since then, fuel and diesel prices have been tied to global oil prices rather than being constant throughout the year.
Global crude oil prices, seasonal demand, and geopolitical changes are some of the reasons that might affect gasoline prices. As these conditions change, the UAE’s monthly pricing mechanism adjusts local fuel and diesel prices proportionately.
The monthly report also indicates that gasoline costs may rise or fall depending on market conditions. Motorists should thus verify the current stated prices before budgeting their monthly gasoline costs.
Different Types of Petrol Available in the UAE
The UAE offers a variety of fuel grades to fulfil the needs of different vehicles. Super 98 is a high-octane fuel primarily intended for high-performance engines and luxury vehicles that demand a higher octane level.
Special 95 is another unleaded fuel grade designed for automobiles with engines that require this level of octane. E-Plus 91 is the lowest fuel grade available in the UAE, and it is widely used in ordinary automobiles, commercial vehicles, and vehicle fleets that are compatible with it.
Diesel is commonly utilised in big vehicles, including buses and large trucks, due to its high fuel economy. Drivers should always follow their car manufacturer’s suggested fuel type and avoid using diesel in vehicles meant for unleaded petrol.
The distinctions in fuel grades are significant when selecting the best choice, as not every vehicle is built to operate on every type of gas.
The October 2026 prices represent the most recent monthly modification to the UAE’s gasoline pricing regime. Motorists should expect the next revision at the end of October, when the UAE Fuel Price Committee will issue prices for November 2026.
