UAE fuel prices: November 2026 rates and calculator

UAE fuel prices for November 2026

As of November 2026, Super 98 costs AED 4.16 per litre, Special 95 AED 4.04, E-Plus 91 AED 3.97 and diesel AED 4.75. These are the November committee rates reported on 31 October by WAM's official announcement.

The October comparison is checked against WAM's 30 September announcement. The change column is our subtraction of the published rates. Prices here refer to the fuel itself. Keep any separately charged service or purchase outside the litres-times-price estimate.

Tank-fill cost calculator

Enter the litres you intend to buy, then choose a November fuel grade. If you have a different verified pump rate, choose the custom option and enter it. The estimate updates in your browser and makes no external calls. It does not know how much fuel remains in your car.

Worked examples: litres bought matter

At November's Special 95 rate, buying 50 litres costs 50 × AED 4.04 = AED 202.00. The same quantity at October's AED 4.28 rate cost AED 214.00. The difference is 50 × AED 0.24 = AED 12.00. These are calculated examples, not claims about a particular vehicle's capacity.

A tank's stated capacity is not necessarily the amount you will purchase. If fuel remains, enter the expected refill quantity, then compare the result with the pump's actual litres. Do not treat a nominal full-tank estimate as proof that a smaller refill was billed incorrectly.

For a cash budget, the arithmetic can run in reverse: litres = fuel budget ÷ price per litre. An illustrative AED 100 budget at AED 4.04/L buys about 24.75 litres before any separate charges. The pump records the actual quantity and final bill.

Verified UAE fuel price history

This table includes only months checked against official committee reporting. It is a short recent history, not a complete annual dataset. All entries use AED per litre and the same grade order, so you can compare a rate without mixing petrol grades or confusing diesel with petrol.

Sources: WAM for August, WAM for September, WAM's October release and WAM's November release. Announcement dates and the month the prices cover are different: the August rate, for example, was announced in July.

The sequence shows why a household budget should allow for changes in either direction. A recent increase does not prove that next month will rise, and November's reduction does not establish December's rate. Use the published announcement once it is available.

How the monthly announcement works

The UAE government energy page says petrol and diesel prices are reviewed monthly. The Gasoline and Diesel Prices Follow-up Committee is chaired by the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure and includes relevant entities and fuel companies.

The government describes a mechanism linked to global petroleum-product prices. It considers average global prices alongside operating and distribution costs. That explains why a crude-oil headline alone cannot tell you the next retail price. This guide does not claim to reproduce the committee's unpublished calculation.

The recent releases were dated 31 July for August, 31 August for September, 30 September for October and 31 October for November. These establish the observed month-end pattern. They do not promise a particular publication time for the next announcement.

1. Check the month named in the committee announcement.
2. Find your exact fuel grade and confirm that the unit is AED per litre.
3. Compare that rate with the pump display before filling.
4. Use the actual litres on the receipt when checking the bill.
5. For December, recheck official channels at the end of November rather than reusing the current rate.

Build a practical driving budget

For regular journeys, keep your own fuel receipts and total the litres bought over a representative period. Multiply that quantity by the current grade price to compare fuel spending at a consistent usage level. Label the result as an estimate because the distance driven and actual consumption can change.

Keep fuel separate from other driving costs in your household plan. A fuel estimate does not include parking, tolls, servicing or insurance. If you are new to the city, the moving to Dubai guide helps put transport beside the other costs of settling in.

For a holiday trip, combine the fuel estimate with the remaining 2026 holiday dates or 2027 planning calendar. Recheck the fuel month if a trip crosses month-end. A departure-day rate does not establish what a later refill will cost.

If the receipt does not match your estimate

First compare like with like: the same fuel grade, price month, unit and quantity. Check whether the receipt includes another item or service. A budget estimate based on rounded litres can differ from the actual pump total even when the unit price is correct.

Keep the receipt and ask the station to explain any unexplained line. The government energy page directs fuel-price enquiries to the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure's official communication channels. Use those channels for unresolved pricing questions; this local calculator cannot check a transaction or determine a refund.
