UAE Adjusts Fuel Prices for September: Petrol Up, Diesel Down

The UAE has announced revised fuel prices for September, with petrol set to rise slightly while diesel costs will fall. Authorities confirmed the changes on Sunday, citing volatility in global oil markets driven by supply disruptions from Russia, trade tariffs imposed by the United States, and ongoing conflicts.

From September 1, Super 98 petrol will be priced at Dh2.70 per litre, up from Dh2.69 in August. Special 95 will increase to Dh2.58, while E-Plus 91 will cost Dh2.51. Diesel, however, will drop to Dh2.66, down from Dh2.78 last month.

Fuel prices in the UAE have been deregulated since 2015 and are adjusted monthly in line with global benchmarks. Brent crude fell to $67.48 a barrel on Friday, while West Texas Intermediate dropped to $64.01, amid concerns over slowing demand and disruptions in Russian supply.

Opec+ has also announced an increase in oil production by 547,000 barrels per day for September. The group will meet on September 7 to review future output policy. Analysts expect a rise in global oil stockpiles in the coming months, with Brent futures forecast to ease to around $63 per barrel in the fourth quarter.
