The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has raised fuel prices for May 2026, with the new rates effective from May 1. Super 98 petrol will now be priced at Dh3.66 per litre, an increase from Dh3.39 in April. Special 95 and E-Plus 91 also saw price hikes, reaching Dh3.55 and Dh3.48 per litre, respectively. This adjustment reflects the ongoing rise in global oil prices, influenced by tensions in the Middle East. The increase in fuel costs will significantly impact motorists, with full tank prices rising between Dh13.77 and Dh20.72 across different vehicle categories. For instance, filling a compact car's tank with Super 98 will now cost Dh186.66, compared to Dh172.89 last month. The Fuel Prices Monitoring Committee reviews these prices monthly in response to global market trends, and this increase follows a surge in crude prices due to regional conflicts and supply concerns.
