UAE Fuel Prices Hold Steady for June; Diesel Sees Minor Drop

Starting June 1, Super 98 petrol will be priced at Dh2.58 per litre, the same as in May. Likewise, Special 95 petrol will continue to retail at Dh2.47 per litre, and E-Plus 91 petrol will remain unchanged at Dh2.39 per litre

Motorists in the UAE will see largely unchanged fuel prices in June, with petrol rates remaining steady and diesel witnessing a modest drop, according to the latest announcement by the UAE Fuel Price Committee.

Starting June 1, Super 98 petrol will be priced at Dh2.58 per litre, the same as in May. Likewise, Special 95 petrol will continue to retail at Dh2.47 per litre, and E-Plus 91 petrol will remain unchanged at Dh2.39 per litre.

The only notable change is in diesel prices, which have been reduced from Dh2.52 per litre in May to Dh2.45 per litre in June — a slight relief for commercial transport operators and logistics firms.

The price stability follows a slight uptick in May, which came after two consecutive months of reductions. The unchanged rates for most fuel types in June reflect relative stability in global oil markets despite ongoing geopolitical and economic fluctuations.

Since the UAE liberalised fuel prices in August 2015, the government has revised rates monthly to align with international oil price trends.

This move, part of a broader economic reform strategy, aimed to encourage efficient fuel consumption and reduce subsidies, thereby fostering a more sustainable fiscal framework.

Fuel prices in the UAE are determined based on the average global crude oil price from the preceding month, combined with distribution and operational costs.

With global oil markets showing mixed trends in May — fluctuating due to shifting demand forecasts, production adjustments by OPEC+, and geopolitical tensions — the steady pricing signals a relatively balanced supply and demand environment.

The diesel price cut, though modest, is expected to benefit key sectors such as transport, construction, and manufacturing, where diesel is widely used.

Industry stakeholders have welcomed the move, noting that even small adjustments can influence operational costs when scaled across large fleets and heavy machinery.

For residents, the unchanged petrol prices offer a degree of predictability in monthly household budgets, especially as temperatures rise and summer travel picks up.

Many commuters rely on personal vehicles for daily transportation, and fuel costs represent a significant recurring expense.

In recent years, the UAE has made strides in promoting alternative mobility solutions, such as electric vehicles and public transportation, as part of its broader sustainability agenda. However, petrol-powered cars remain the dominant mode of transport for most residents.

Meanwhile, the Energy Ministry continues to encourage responsible fuel use and has reiterated its commitment to market-driven pricing mechanisms.

Monthly fuel price announcements are typically made on the last day of each month and take effect from the first day of the following month.

As residents prepare for the summer season and increased travel, June’s fuel rates provide some economic consistency amid global uncertainties.
