How much a full tank costs now
For a car with a 60-litre tank, a full tank of Super 98 now costs AED249.60 instead of AED264. Special 95 comes to AED242.40 instead of AED256.80, and E-Plus 91 to AED238.20 instead of AED252.60. That is AED14.40 less per fill on any petrol grade. A 60-litre diesel fill costs AED285, AED3 less than in October.
If you fill up once a week, the saving on petrol adds up to more than AED55 over the month.
Why prices came down
The UAE sets fuel prices every month under a pricing mechanism based on global fuel price movements, and the changes are passed on to the local market. November ends a run of increases. Khaleej Times notes this is the first cut after three straight months of rises, and the last fall came in July.
October was a steep month. Super 98 jumped from AED3.80 in September to AED4.40, as WAM announced at the end of September. Even after this cut, prices are still well above September levels, but remain below the July 2022 record, when Super 98 hit AED4.63 a litre.
What it means for drivers in Dubai

Prices for December will be announced at the end of November.
