The prices for December have just been revealed and it’s a slight decrease in what motorists will pay for petrol this month.
But those who use diesel will pay one fil more per litre.
UAE petrol prices are announced on the final day of every month by the United Arab Emirates federal government via its petroleum firm Emarat.
The new fuel rates will come into effect on Sunday December 1 2024.

- Super 98: Will now be Dhs2.61 per litre, compared to Dhs2.74 per litre in November
- Special 95: Will now be Dhs2.50 per litre, compared to Dhs2.54 per litre in November

Fuel prices are standardised in each of the seven emirates and the rates are revised every month.
This change in price follows a summer and autumn trend with June, July, September and October all experiencing dips in the cost of UAE fuel.
Since 2015, the UAE has revised petrol prices on a monthly basis in line with global rates.
UAE petrol prices reached an all-time high in July 2022, with Super 98 costing Dhs4.63 per litre.
In 2023, petrol prices peaked in October and declined in November, December and January.

Fuel prices in the country were liberalised in 2015, with local rates being aligned with global oil prices.
For the past eight years, the fuel price committee has met on a monthly basis to announce revised rates.
The government hopes the measure will encourage more residents to use public transport while also incentivising the use of alternative fuels.
