Why UAE Fuel Prices Spiked in April 2026

April 2026 recorded one of the sharpest single-month jumps in recent UAE fuel history. Special 95 moved from AED 2.48 to AED 3.28, while diesel jumped from AED 2.72 to AED 4.69. The move tracked a strong rise in international crude and refined fuel benchmarks.

Since the UAE uses deregulated, market-linked monthly pricing, changes in global oil benchmarks are passed through to pump prices quickly. Unlike heavily subsidized systems, the UAE revision reflects market direction with limited delay.

Most regular cars run on Special 95. Use Super 98 only if your manufacturer requires it, and E-Plus 91 for older/fleet vehicles. Check the fuel-cap label or owner manual.

Why did UAE petrol prices rise in April 2026?

April 2026 saw a sharp jump because global crude and refined fuel benchmarks rose significantly amid regional supply-risk pressure. Since UAE uses market-linked monthly pricing, pump rates reflected that move quickly.

Is there VAT on petrol in UAE?

No additional VAT is added at the pump for petrol and diesel. The displayed pump rate is the final payable fuel price.
