Fuel Prices for December 2025 in the UAE

Before diving into the data, here are the fuel prices for December 2025 in the UAE. 

Factors Affecting Petrol Prices

Several key factors influence petrol price trends in the UAE. Let’s break them down.

• Global Oil Prices

Crude oil is the primary material for petrol production. Global supply and demand dictate its price. This, in turn, impacts petrol prices in the UAE.

Example: If demand increases or supply drops, global prices rise. This will likely lead to higher petrol prices in the UAE.

• Production Costs

Crude oil must be refined into usable petrol. Refining costs depend on energy prices, technology, and production efficiency. These costs affect the final petrol price.

Example: Rising energy costs or new refining methods can lead to higher petrol prices.

• Exchange Rates

The UAE imports crude oil, often priced in US dollars. If the UAE dirham weakens against the dollar, fuel prices rise.

Example: A weaker dirham means the cost of importing oil increases, causing petrol prices to rise.

• Government Policies

The UAE government controls fuel prices. While they follow global trends, the government may intervene to keep prices affordable.

Example: The government sometimes absorbs additional costs to prevent sudden price hikes and ensure stability for residents.

• Seasonal Demand

Fuel demand often peaks during specific times, particularly in summer when travel increases. Higher demand can push prices higher.

Example: Just like demand for ice cream rises in summer, fuel demand spikes during vacation months, raising prices.

• Supply Chain Disruptions

Disruptions in the supply chain, like political issues or natural disasters, can decrease the oil supply. This results in higher fuel prices.

Example: If a natural disaster affects an oil-producing country, fuel supply may decrease, leading to price increases.

• Taxes and Subsidies

While the UAE doesn’t add significant taxes to fuel, other countries do. These global trends can indirectly impact the UAE’s petrol prices.

Example: If taxes rise in other countries, global demand for petrol may drop, which can influence UAE prices.

• Renewable Energy Trends

The shift toward renewable energy sources, like electric vehicles, can reduce global demand for petrol. Over time, this might stabilize or lower petrol prices.

In Simpler Terms

Think of petrol prices like fruit prices at a market:

• If there’s bad weather (supply issues), prices rise.
• If more people want the same fruit (demand), prices go up.
• If shipping costs rise (transportation or refining costs), the final price increases.

These factors combine with government regulations to maintain stable prices in the UAE, despite global changes.
