Updated Fuel Rates for June 2026
The UAE Fuel Price Committee has officially announced the revised fuel prices for the month of June 2026. Following the committee's monthly review, which aligns domestic fuel prices with global oil market fluctuations, motorists across the United Arab Emirates will face an increase at the pump effective from June 1, 2026.
Breakdown of New Prices
The latest adjustment sees a notable rise in the cost of petrol. The new rates are as follows:
- Super 98: Dh3.95 per litre
- Special 95: Prices have been adjusted accordingly in line with the committee's pricing mechanism
- E-Plus 91: Updated rates are now applicable at all service stations
- Diesel: Revised pricing has also been implemented for the month
Context of the Adjustment
Fuel prices in the United Arab Emirates are determined by the Fuel Price Committee based on average global oil prices. This mechanism was introduced to ensure that domestic prices reflect international market realities. The committee meets monthly to evaluate these trends and adjust prices accordingly, ensuring transparency for consumers and businesses operating within the country.
Impact on Consumers
The increase to Dh3.95 per litre for Super 98 reflects the ongoing volatility in global energy markets. Residents and businesses are advised to take note of these changes when planning their monthly transportation budgets. Service stations across the UAE have updated their digital displays to reflect the new pricing structure, which remains in effect until the next review at the end of the month.

Aligning prices with the global market is economically sound in theory. However, it ignores the immediate strain on low-income residents who rely on their cars to get to work every day.

I understand that global oil prices dictate these changes, but it feels like the consumer always loses. Maybe it is time to invest more heavily in public transit to mitigate these rising costs.

Dh3.95 is way too high. The burden on residents is getting out of control.

The constant fluctuations make it impossible to plan a monthly budget. Extremely frustrating.

Another price hike. This is becoming completely unaffordable for the average worker.
