The UAE on Saturday (August 31) announced the fuel prices for the month of August 2024. The approved fuel prices by the Ministry of Energy are determined every month, according to the average global price of oil, whether up or down, after adding the operating costs of distribution companies.
The Fuel Prices Monitoring Committee decreased the rates by as much as 15 fils per litre, compared to prices in August. The new rates will apply from September 1 and are as follows:
| Category | Price per litre (September) | Price per litre (August) | Difference |
| Super 98 petrol | Dh2.90 | Dh3.05 | Dh0.15 |
| Special 95 petrol | Dh2.78 | Dh2.93 | Dh0.15 |
| E-plus 91 petrol | Dh2.71 | Dh2.86 | Dh0.15 |
