The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has announced a reduction in petroleum prices for April 2025, providing relief to motorists as global oil prices fluctuate.
The Fuel Prices Monitoring Committee approved the revised rates on Monday, March 31, in alignment with global petroleum market trends. This latest adjustment marks a decrease compared to March, reflecting the UAE’s commitment to adjusting domestic fuel prices in accordance with international oil price movements.
The UAE follows a deregulated fuel pricing system, introduced in 2015, which allows petroleum prices to be adjusted monthly based on global oil market trends, with distribution costs factored in. The newly approved rates, effective from April 1, are as follows:
• Super 98 petrol: Dh2.57 per litre (down from Dh2.73)
• Special 95 petrol: Dh2.46 per litre (down from Dh2.61)
• E-plus 91 petrol: Dh2.38 per litre (down from Dh2.54)
For motorists across the UAE, these reduced petroleum prices translate into significant fuel savings, ranging from Dh7.65 to Dh11.84 per full tank, depending on the vehicle type.
Estimated Full Tank Costs by Vehicle Type
Compact Cars (51-litre tank):
• Super 98: Dh131.07 (previously Dh139.23)
• Special 95: Dh125.46 (previously Dh133.11)
• E-plus 91: Dh121.38 (previously Dh129.54)
Sedans (62-litre tank):
• Super 98: Dh159.34 (previously Dh169.26)
• Special 95: Dh152.52 (previously Dh161.82)
• E-plus 91: Dh147.56 (previously Dh157.48)
SUVs (74-litre tank):
• Super 98: Dh190.18 (previously Dh202.02)
• Special 95: Dh182.04 (previously Dh193.14)
• E-plus 91: Dh176.12 (previously Dh187.96)
The UAE’s decision to lower petroleum prices is expected to provide financial relief for residents and businesses alike, as transportation costs are a significant factor in overall expenses. This adjustment comes at a time when global petroleum prices remain volatile due to economic uncertainties, geopolitical developments, and fluctuating demand.
By maintaining a flexible pricing mechanism, the UAE continues to ensure that petroleum prices reflect global trends while supporting economic stability for consumers. Motorists can now benefit from more affordable fuel costs, reinforcing the UAE’s role as a key player in global petroleum market dynamics.
