Petrol Prices Reach Four-Year High in UAE
Petrol prices have touched a four-year high in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), with the per litre price exceeding 4 dirhams. This marks the highest fuel price since July 2022, driven by rising tensions in the Middle East and global market fluctuations.
Key Points:
- Price Increase: The UAE Fuel Price Committee announced a rise of over 16%, with Super 98 petrol now at 4.40 dirhams per litre, Special 95 at 4.28 dirhams, and E-Plus 91 at 4.21 dirhams per litre.
- Historical Peak: This is the first time since the Russia-Ukraine war in February 2022 that UAE petrol prices have surpassed 4 dirhams per litre.
- Global Factors: Rising tensions between the United States and Iran, along with fears of a Strait of Hormuz closure, are contributing to global fuel price hikes.
- Crude Oil Prices: Brent crude oil remained above $100 per barrel in September 2026, reaching $102.80 on Wednesday morning.
