UAE Petrol and Diesel Prices for May 2025 Announced

The UAE’s fuel pricing committee has officially announced the petrol and diesel prices for May 2025. Here’s everything you need to know about the new rates, how they compare to the previous month, and what it means for consumers.

Updated Fuel Prices for May 2025

Starting May 1, motorists in the UAE will see slight adjustments to petrol and diesel rates. Here’s the price breakdown for this month:

• Super 98 Petrol: Dh2.58 per liter (up from Dh2.57 in April)
• Special 95 Petrol: Dh2.47 per liter (up from Dh2.46 in April)
• E-Plus 91 Petrol: Dh2.39 per liter (up from Dh2.38 in April)
• Diesel: Dh2.52 per liter (down from Dh2.63 in April)

These rates reflect global oil market trends and are part of the UAE’s monthly fuel price revisions based on average oil prices and operational costs.

What These Changes Mean for Motorists

When we look at the prices, petrol rates across all categories have seen a marginal increase of just one fil per liter compared to April. This slight change is unlikely to cause significant impacts on everyday expenses for drivers.

However, there’s good news for diesel users, as prices have decreased by 11 fils per liter. This reduction might bring some relief to businesses relying on diesel-powered logistics and transportation.

The UAE’s Dynamic Fuel Pricing Strategy

The UAE fuel pricing committee revises retail fuel prices at the end of each month to align with global market trends. This dynamic pricing mechanism ensures fuel rates reflect real-time changes in international oil prices, benefiting both consumers and businesses.

By adopting this model, the UAE continues to play a significant role in managing fuel sustainability and mitigating the economic impact of global oil price fluctuations.
