What does it mean for your fuel bill?
Here’s what you’d pay if you owned popular vehicles in the UAE and filled up using different fuel grades.
Toyota Yaris 1.5L — E-Plus 91
Tank capacity: 40 litres
Cost of a full tank in October: AED 168.40
Cost of a full tank in September: AED 144.40
Price increase: AED 24
JETOUR T2 2.0T — Special 95
Tank capacity: 70 litres
Cost of a full tank in October: AED 299.60
Cost of a full tank in September: AED 258.30
Price increase: AED 41.30
Full-size Range Rover P530 — Super 98
Tank capacity: 90 litres
Cost of a full tank in October: AED 396
Cost of a full tank in September: AED 342
Price increase: AED 54
For someone filling up four times a month, total fuel costs in October would rise to approximately AED 673.60 for the Toyota Yaris, AED 1,198.40 for the JETOUR T2 and AED 1,584 for the Range Rover under the new UAE fuel pricing structure.
Fuel prices hit a four-year high
October continues the upward trend seen in August and September, following a brief decline in July. September prices stood at AED 3.80 for Super 98, AED 3.69 for Special 95, AED 3.61 for E-Plus 91 and AED 4.30 for diesel.
The October adjustment is significantly larger for petrol compared to September’s increase, when all three petrol grades rose by 20 fils per litre.
October’s petrol prices are now the highest in more than four years, although they remain below the record levels seen in July 2022, when Super 98 reached AED 4.63 per litre.
The UAE Fuel Price Committee continues to review retail petrol and diesel prices monthly, with adjustments linked directly to global oil market movements.
For context, despite the sharp October increase, Super 98 at AED 4.40 per litre remains 23 fils below the UAE’s July 2022 peak.
