How Fuel Prices Are Calculated
The UAE’s monthly fuel prices are determined by the Fuel Prices Monitoring Committee based on average global oil prices. The committee applies an adjustment formula that considers international market trends and adds the necessary operating costs for distribution companies.
This pricing mechanism, established in 2015, removed fuel subsidies and allowed prices to fluctuate according to global market conditions, creating a more sustainable approach to energy consumption across the Emirates.
Key Takeaway
March 2025 brings marginally lower fuel prices for UAE motorists, with savings ranging from Dh0.51 for compact cars to Dh1.48 for SUVs using Special 95 petrol. While the reduction is modest, it provides some financial relief amid global economic pressures. Drivers should consider these price differences when planning their monthly budgets and fuel consumption.
