The United Arab Emirates has officially set its fuel pricing structure for February 2026, marking a continuation of its market-based approach to petroleum products. The Fuel Price Committee released the updated rates on Saturday, January 31st, 2026, which will take effect from February 1st.
According to the announcement, all three gasoline variants and diesel will experience a modest reduction compared to January 2026 prices. Super 98 premium petrol will retail at Dh2.45 per liter, down from Dh2.53 the previous month. Special 95, the mid-grade option, will decrease to Dh2.33 per liter from Dh2.42. The most economical choice, E-Plus 91, will be priced at Dh2.26 per liter, reduced from Dh2.34.
Diesel prices will also see a downward adjustment, settling at Dh2.52 per liter compared to January’s rate of Dh2.55. This pricing pattern reflects the UAE’s continued adherence to its 2015 fuel market deregulation policy, which eliminated government subsidies and aligned domestic prices with international market fluctuations.
The monthly price review mechanism ensures that UAE consumers benefit from global oil market trends while promoting energy conservation and economic efficiency. This marks the second consecutive month of price adjustments following January’s increase, demonstrating the dynamic nature of the fuel market under the current regulatory framework.
