Alert the group chat: UAE fuel prices for August have been released… and unless you’re the kind of person who gets excited by supermarket receipts or spreadsheet pivot tables, you might struggle to feign enthusiasm. As predicted by the ever-thrilling world of energy forecasts, August brings us a barely-there change: a polite 1-fil drop in most petrol grades. Not exactly the stuff of headlines, unless you’re planning a dramatic cross-country road trip or trying to justify yet another coffee stop on your morning commute. Still, stability is the real headline here.

Updated UAE Fuel (Petrol & Diesel) Prices for August 2025
Let’s take a look at the stable saga that is this month’s price list: Super 98 will now cost AED 2.69 per litre, down from AED 2.70, which is just enough to buy, say, half a peanut. Special 95 clocks in at AED 2.57 per litre (a whole fils cheaper than last month, but blink and you’ll miss it), while E-Plus 91 is down to AED 2.50 per litre, truly, the generosity is staggering. Meanwhile, Diesel has decided to go rogue and inch upwards to AED 2.78 per litre, from AED 2.63, because clearly someone in the pricing department wanted to keep things interesting.
A Brief Stroll Down The Petrol Memory Lane
You know you’ve hit peak adulthood when you discuss petrol prices with the same fervour you once reserved for celebrity gossip. Here’s a nostalgic peek at how fuel rates have gone from drama queen to Zen monk over the year:
| Month | Super 98 | Special 95 | E-Plus 91 |
|---|---|---|---|
| January | AED 2.61 | AED 2.50 | AED 2.43 |
| February | AED 2.74 | AED 2.63 | AED 2.55 |
| March | AED 2.73 | AED 2.61 | AED 2.54 |
| April | AED 2.57 | AED 2.46 | AED 2.38 |
| May | AED 2.58 | AED 2.47 | AED 2.39 |
| June | AED 2.58 | AED 2.47 | AED 2.39 |
| July | AED 2.70 | AED 2.58 | AED 2.51 |
| August | AED 2.69 | AED 2.57 | AED 2.50 |
One Fil Down, A Few Dirhams Saved
While the dip may not be dramatic enough to warrant a celebratory dance at the petrol station, it does mean a few extra dirhams staying snug in your wallet, especially for those of us who commute daily or consider weekend mall-hopping a cardio session. A one-fil drop might not sound like much, but just like unsolicited WhatsApp forwards from extended family, it adds up over time.
And yes, we know, the weather right now could melt your will to live (or at least your car seat). But even in this oven masquerading as a city, those slightly reduced prices are still a welcome relief. Whether you’re braving the heat for a grocery run, a late-night karak, or simply circling the block for parking in the shade, every little saving helps.
Stay cool, hydrate like it’s your full-time job, and keep your eyes on Gulf Buzz for your next dose of fuel price drama.
