November vs October Fuel Price Changes
Key Takeaway! November marks the first price drop following three consecutive months of increases, reducing average passenger vehicle refilling costs by roughly 5.6%.
The November fuel price reduction offers welcome relief for daily commuters across the UAE. For motorists regularly traveling high-mileage routes like the Dubai–Abu Dhabi highway, these lower rates accumulate into noticeable monthly savings.
While prices remain higher than late 2025 levels, aligning your monthly budget with your vehicle’s mileage and using the correct fuel grade ensures optimal expenditure.
How Much Does a 60-Litre Tank Cost

The impact of the price drop varies depending on your car’s fuel tank capacity. Below is the total cost breakdown for a standard 60-litre tank:
Fuel Type | November Fill-Up (60L) | October Fill-Up (60L) | Total Saving |

Understanding Different Fuel Grades
Selection Rule! Always use the octane rating specified by your car’s manufacturer. Higher octane fuel does not increase performance in engines designed for regular fuel. Choosing the right petrol grade protects your engine and avoids unnecessary spending:
- Super 98 (98 RON): High-octane premium petrol designed for high-performance engines, sports cars, and luxury vehicles.
- Special 95 (95 RON): The standard petrol grade specified for most modern sedan, hatchback, and crossover engines.
- E-Plus 91 (91 RON): Budget-friendly petrol suitable for lower-compression engines and small passenger cars.
- Diesel: Formulated exclusively for diesel engines, including heavy commercial vehicles and select European diesel SUVs.
Tip! Check the inside of your fuel filler flap or consult your vehicle owner’s manual to confirm the required RON rating.
Practical Ways to Manage Fuel Consumption
Efficiency Tip! Vehicle health directly impacts mileage. Poor maintenance can increase your vehicle’s fuel consumption by up to 15%. Combine lower pump prices with smart driving and regular upkeep to maximize efficiency:
- Maintain Correct Tyre Pressure: Underinflated tyres increase rolling resistance, forcing your engine to consume more fuel.
- Smooth Acceleration & Braking: Gentle throttle inputs and anticipatory braking prevent excessive fuel burn.
- Clear Unnecessary Cargo: Carrying extra weight forces your vehicle’s engine to work harder.
- Minimize Excessive Idling: Turn off the engine during extended stops to save fuel.
- Keep Up with Scheduled Maintenance: Clogged air filters, worn spark plugs, and dirty fuel injectors cause incomplete combustion.
If your car exhibits sudden drops in fuel economy, rough idling, or sluggish acceleration, professional engine diagnostics can pinpoint the underlying issue.
