UAE petrol and diesel prices for November 2026 have been announced, giving motorists and businesses lower pump rates from Sunday, 1 November. Super 98 will cost AED4.16 per litre, Special 95 will cost AED4.04, E-Plus 91 will cost AED3.97 and diesel will cost AED4.75.
The three petrol grades are each AED0.24 per litre cheaper than in October, while diesel falls by AED0.05 per litre. The official rates are confirmed in the Emirates News Agency announcement. The change is useful for household budgets and for businesses that buy fuel repeatedly, but the real saving depends on the number of litres purchased.
UAE fuel prices for November 2026
| Fuel type | November 2026 | October 2026 | Change per litre |
|---|---|---|---|
| Super 98 | AED4.16 | AED4.40 | Down AED0.24 |
| Special 95 | AED4.04 | AED4.28 | Down AED0.24 |
| E-Plus 91 | AED3.97 | AED4.21 | Down AED0.24 |
| Diesel | AED4.75 | AED4.80 | Down AED0.05 |
Readers can compare the new figures with our October 2026 fuel-price update. For a longer view of recent movements, the September 2026 UAE fuel-price update records the previous month’s rates and practical budgeting examples.
How much does a 50-litre fill cost in November?
A 50-litre purchase of Super 98 will cost AED208 in November, compared with AED220 in October, saving AED12. The same quantity of Special 95 will cost AED202 instead of AED214. Fifty litres of E-Plus 91 will cost AED198.50, down from AED210.50. A 50-litre diesel purchase will cost AED237.50, compared with AED240 in October, a saving of AED2.50.
These examples assume exactly 50 litres are dispensed. A normal top-up may be smaller, and the total charged at the station can include shop purchases or other items. A household buying 150 litres of Special 95 during November would spend AED606, which is AED36 less than buying the same volume at October’s rate. A diesel fleet using 1,000 litres would spend AED4,750, saving AED50 month on month if its fuel volume remains unchanged.
Drivers planning an inter-emirate journey can combine the new per-litre rate with the distance, document and rest-stop checks in our UAE road-trip planning guide. Use the vehicle’s recent real-world fuel consumption rather than relying only on a laboratory economy figure.
Use the petrol grade specified for your vehicle
The monthly price change does not alter the grade required by an engine. Check the owner’s manual or the label inside the fuel door and use the octane rating approved by the manufacturer. A lower price is not a reason to move to a grade that the manufacturer does not recommend, while a more expensive grade is not automatically beneficial when the vehicle is designed for another option.
Fuel economy is also affected by tyre pressure, maintenance, driving conditions, load and route. If consumption suddenly rises, investigate the cause instead of assuming that the fuel grade is responsible. The practical checks in our Dubai car-safety checklist can help drivers review tyres, fluids, lights and basic emergency readiness.
How to update a November driving budget
Start with litres, not a guessed monthly amount. Review two or three recent receipts, total the litres bought and multiply the likely November volume by the new price for the correct grade. Keep tolls, parking and maintenance as separate lines so it remains clear whether a change came from fuel consumption, the pump price or another driving cost.
- Record the odometer reading, litres, fuel grade and total cost at every fill.
- Use the grade approved by the vehicle manufacturer.
- Check tyre pressure when the tyres are cold and follow the vehicle specification.
- Combine nearby errands where practical and avoid unnecessary idling.
- Compare routes before departure, especially during peak traffic or event periods.
- Keep business fuel receipts with the relevant vehicle, driver and trip record.
Dubai motorists should also allow for toll and parking costs. Our Dubai Salik account guide explains account and tag checks, while the Dubai parking payment guide covers zone, confirmation and payment considerations. These costs are separate from fuel and should not be mixed into the per-litre comparison.
What businesses and fleet operators should check
Businesses should update November forecasts using expected litres for each vehicle or activity. A sales car, delivery van, diesel truck and generator may have very different usage patterns, so one broad percentage can hide the real change. Where a customer contract contains a fuel-adjustment clause, use the written calculation and effective date rather than applying an informal surcharge.
Retain the date, station receipt, litres, grade, vehicle, odometer and business purpose for each transaction. If one vehicle’s consumption is unusually high, review route data, idling, tyre condition, maintenance and record accuracy before drawing conclusions. Employees comparing a regular drive with public transport can also consult the UAE inter-emirate bus guide for ticket, luggage and arrival planning.
Why UAE fuel prices are reviewed monthly
The UAE uses a monthly fuel-pricing mechanism that reflects movements in global energy markets and domestic market conditions. Fuel prices were deregulated in 2015; the official WAM explanation of fuel-price deregulation provides background on the policy. A fall in one month does not guarantee another reduction in the next month, so motorists should use the confirmed rate for the current period rather than predicting future pump prices.
The November rates apply from 1 November 2026 throughout the UAE. Drivers should check the price displayed at the pump, choose the correct grade and retain a receipt when it is needed for reimbursement or business records.
