This is the first pricing update from the Emirates as an independent oil producer following its exit from Opec and Opec+ in May
The UAE has announced fuel prices for June 2026, marking its first pricing update as an independent oil producer following its exit from Opec and Opec+ in May.
The country’s Fuel Prices Monitoring Committee has increased the rates from May as the Middle East conflict continues, with an ongoing ceasefire in place and diplomatic talks continuing in the background.
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 June 1 and are as follows:
Depending on the type of vehicle you drive, getting a full tank of petrol in June will cost you between Dh14.28 and Dh21.46 more than May.
Here is a breakdown of how much it would cost to get your vehicle fully fuelled up:
Compact cars
Average fuel tank capacity: 51 litres
| Petrol | June | May |
|---|---|---|
| Super 98 | Dh201.45 | Dh186.66 |
| Special 95 | Dh195.33 | Dh181.05 |
| E-Plus 91 | Dh191.76 | Dh177.48 |
Sedan
Average fuel tank capacity: 62 litres
SUV
Average fuel tank capacity: 74 litres
Petrol prices have been on an upward trend for four consecutive months, including June, reflecting broader global oil movements.
Monthly petrol price changes in the UAE have a direct bearing on household finances, as fuel remains a regular and essential expense for most families. Even minor fluctuations can accumulate over time, and when prices rise, motorists often need to set aside a larger share of their income to cover fuel costs.
The UAE last saw record-breaking fuel rates in 2022 following the Russia-Ukraine war, when prices crossed Dh4 per litre for the first time. In July that year, rates peaked at Dh4.63 per litre for Super 98 and Dh4.52 for Special 95, marking the highest levels on record.
