UAE Fuel Prices February 2025: Petrol Rates See an Increase
The UAE Fuel Price Committee has released the latest fuel prices for February 2025, reflecting an increase across all categories compared to the previous month. This adjustment aligns with the UAE’s fuel pricing strategy, which ties domestic fuel rates to global oil price movements, ensuring transparency and a market-driven pricing structure.
Updated Fuel Prices for February 2025
Effective February 1, 2025, motorists in the UAE will pay the following revised prices per liter at fuel stations:
- Super 98 petrol: AED 2.74 (up from AED 2.61 in January)
- Special 95 petrol: AED 2.63 (up from AED 2.50 in January)
- E-Plus 91 petrol: AED 2.55 (up from AED 2.43 in January)
- Diesel: AED 2.82 (up from AED 2.68 in January)
How Will the Fuel Price Hike Impact the UAE?
The rise in fuel prices will directly affect transportation costs, potentially increasing expenses for daily commuters and businesses reliant on fuel, such as logistics, aviation, and shipping. This could also lead to a marginal increase in the cost of goods and services as transportation expenses rise.
Despite the price hike, UAE fuel prices remain competitive compared to global markets, with monthly adjustments closely monitored by businesses and residents alike.
Why Are UAE Fuel Prices Increasing?
The UAE follows a deregulated fuel pricing model, meaning local fuel rates are adjusted monthly in response to global oil price trends. The latest price surge is linked to international market fluctuations, supply chain disruptions, and geopolitical influences, all contributing to rising crude oil prices.
As a key player in the global energy sector, the UAE balances its fuel pricing policies to ensure economic stability while maintaining competitive fuel rates for businesses and consumers.
How Can Motorists Adapt to Higher Fuel Prices?
To offset the impact of rising fuel costs, motorists can:
- Adopt fuel-efficient driving habits to optimize fuel consumption.
- Utilize loyalty programs from ADNOC, ENOC, and Emarat for discounts and cashback on fuel purchases.
- Consider hybrid or electric vehicles for long-term savings on fuel expenses.
- Use carpooling and public transport where possible to reduce overall fuel usage.
Future Fuel Price Trends in the UAE
With global oil markets remaining volatile, fuel prices in the UAE are expected to fluctuate based on multiple factors, including global supply-demand dynamics, OPEC+ production decisions, and geopolitical developments. The UAE Fuel Price Committee will continue to review and adjust prices accordingly on a monthly basis.
