September is here, the last sweaty stretch of summer, when the AC wars at home start cooling down and stepping outside is eyed as an appealing idea. While the weather finally gives us a break, fuel prices have decided it’s their time to turn up the heat. But before you sigh too loudly, here’s the twist: diesel drivers actually catch a break this month with a noticeable drop.
Updated UAE Fuel (Petrol & Diesel) Prices for September 2025
- Super 98: AED 2.70 per litre (up from AED 2.69 in August)
- Special 95: AED 2.58 per litre (up from AED 2.57)
- E-Plus 91: AED 2.51 per litre (up from AED 2.50)
- Diesel: AED 2.66 per litre (down from AED 2.78)
So yes, petrol is up by a mere one fil, which is basically the fuel price equivalent of shrugging. But diesel? That’s a 12-fil dip worth actually smiling about at the pump.
A Quick Look Back At 2025’s Fuel Rollercoaster
Let’s be honest, this is peak adulthood: we used to gossip about who was dating who, binge-watch full seasons of shows in one night, and debate over which actor nailed the best rom-com. Now? We find ourselves scrolling through fuel price updates like it’s the latest episode of a drama series. The twists aren’t wild, but somehow we’re hooked, cheering when there’s a drop, groaning when there’s a hike, and screenshotting the chart like it’s breaking news.
| Month | Super 98 | Special 95 | E-Plus 91 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jan | 2.61 | 2.50 | 2.43 |
| Feb | 2.74 | 2.63 | 2.55 |
| Mar | 2.73 | 2.61 | 2.54 |
| Apr | 2.57 | 2.46 | 2.38 |
| May | 2.58 | 2.47 | 2.39 |
| Jun | 2.58 | 2.47 | 2.39 |
| Jul | 2.70 | 2.58 | 2.51 |
| Aug | 2.69 | 2.57 | 2.50 |
| Sep | 2.79 | 2.67 | 2.60 |
The Silver Lining? Cooler Drives Ahead
Sure, the pump is asking for a few extra dirhams, but at least you won’t feel like you’re slow-cooking in traffic anymore. Evening beach walks, late-night shawarma runs, or those blessed post-school-drop-off drives will actually come with a breeze instead of a blast furnace. Small victories, people.
So, hydrate, enjoy that hint of cooler air, and maybe budget a little extra for petrol this month. After all, September’s trade-off seems to be: less sweat, more spend.
