The United Arab Emirates has officially confirmed a nationwide decrease in fuel prices for February 2026, marking a welcome development for motorists across the nation. The Fuel Prices Monitoring Committee announced the revised rates on Saturday, January 31st, which will take effect from February 1st throughout the country.
This pricing adjustment reflects the government’s monthly review mechanism that correlates domestic fuel costs with global oil market fluctuations, while incorporating operational expenses of distribution companies. The newly approved rates demonstrate a consistent reduction across all gasoline categories compared to January 2026 figures.
Premium Super 98 gasoline will now retail at Dh2.45 per liter (previously Dh2.53), while Special 95 grade will be available at Dh2.33 per liter (down from Dh2.42). The more economical E-Plus 91 variant has been priced at Dh2.26 per liter, reduced from January’s Dh2.36 per liter.
The financial implications for vehicle owners vary according to their automobile’s fuel tank capacity. Compact car owners with 51-liter tanks can anticipate savings between Dh4.08 and Dh5.10 per refill. Sedan drivers with 62-liter tanks will benefit from reduced costs ranging from Dh4.96 to Dh6.20, while SUV owners with 74-liter tanks will experience the most substantial savings of Dh5.92 to Dh7.40 per full tank refueling.
This price reduction follows January’s increase, demonstrating the dynamic nature of the UAE’s fuel pricing system that responds to international market conditions. The transparent monthly announcement system allows residents to effectively budget their transportation expenses while maintaining alignment with global energy economics.
