The UAE on Tuesday, March 31, announced the fuel prices for the month of April 2026, with the Fuel Prices Monitoring Committee increasing the rates as the Middle East conflict continued.
The UAE’s Ministry of Energy-approved fuel prices are determined monthly based on the average global oil price, after adding distribution companies’ operating costs. The new rates will apply from April 1 and are as follows:
| Petrol | March | April |
|---|---|---|
| Super 98 | Dh2.59 | Dh3.39 |
| Special 95 | Dh2.48 | Dh3.28 |
| E-Plus 91 | Dh2.40 | Dh3.20 |
