UAE Fuel Prices for July 2025 Revealed: Expect Higher Full Tank Costs

Fuel rates in the UAE have increased for July 2025. If you top up your tank often, the difference will be clear. This month, all types of petrol and diesel are more expensive than they were in June.

We’re seeing these hikes because global oil prices are rising again. That means higher costs at the pump, especially for people who drive every day. It’s not just about carseitherr, delivery services, taxis, and transport businesses all feel the impact.

We’ll study the new fuel rates, compare them to last month, and show you what a full tank now costs. We’ll also explain why prices are rising and what it means for your wallet. Plus, we’ll share simple tips to help you save fuel and money.

Let’s dive into what’s new and what to expect next.

New Fuel Rates at a Glance

Here are the updated costs per litre:

• Super 98: AED 2.70 (up from 2.58)
• Special 95: AED 2.58 (up from 2.47)
• E‑Plus 91: AED 2.51 (up from 2.39)
• Diesel: AED 2.63 (up from 2.45)

These rates reflect global oil trends, which the UAE monitors through a monthly pricing mechanism since deregulating domestic fuel in 2015.

Rising Global Oil Prices

Fuel cost hikes in July mirror movements in the world oil market. According to a Reuters survey, Brent crude is projected to average $67.86 per barrel in 2025, marking a slight rise from previous forecasts. Tensions between Iran and Israel, along with threats across the Strait of Hormuz, have caused prices to spike briefly; Brent even hit $81.40 amid recent hostilities.

OPEC+ plans to raise oil production by 411,000 barrels per day beginning in August. That could ease prices later, but for now, supply worries are keeping costs elevated.

What a Full Tank Now Costs

Let’s translate these rates into total tank costs:

Vehicle Type	Tank Size (L)	July Total	June Total
Hatchback (E‑Plus 91)	45 L	AED 113	AED 107
Sedan (Special 95)	62 L	AED 160	AED 153
SUV (Super 98)	74 L	AED 200	AED 191

We see an AED 9 rise for an SUV tank. It’s small per litre, but it adds up for frequent drivers and businesses. Taxis, delivery services, and commuters will feel this pinch.

How July Compares to Last Year

Despite this rise, prices are still lower than in July 2024. For example:

• E‑Plus 91: down from ~AED 2.95 to AED 2.51
• Super 98: dropped from ~AED 3.14 to AED 2.70

So, even as we see monthly increases, the year-on-year view remains positive for consumers.

Economic Ripple Effects

When fuel is more expensive, transport costs go up. That affects goods and groceries too. Delivery fees may rise. Businesses might cope by raising prices or tightening budgets.

We all feel the impact at the checkout, even if it’s not obvious at first. For service businesses, the choice to raise prices or absorb costs can affect them differently.

How We Can Save on Fuel

Here are easy tips we can all use:

• Keep tyre pressure correct.
• Avoid idling or harsh braking.
• Combine errands in one trip.
• Use loyalty programs or fuel-saving apps.
• Consider carpooling or public transport.

These small steps help reduce fuel use and cost.

What to Expect Next

Prices will change again at the end of July. That update will depend on how global oil shifts:

• Will OPEC+ releases ease supply pressure?
• Will Middle East tensions calm or flare again?

If crude prices dip, UAE rates could drop in August. If tensions continue, prices may stay up.

Bottom Line

Fuel prices rose in July due to global oil pressures and regional instability. But they remain lower than last year. We all feel the impact on commutes, deliveries, and household budgets.

By driving smart and staying updated each month, we can manage these changes and maybe even save a bit along the way.
