Petrol dropped 24 fils a litre in November 2026, so the tank that cost AED 214 in October now costs closer to AED 202. This fuel cost calculator for the UAE shows what that means for your month: enter your kilometres and your car’s consumption and it works out your petrol budget, yearly spend and cost per km at the official prices for Special 95, Super 98, E-Plus 91 and diesel.

How to calculate fuel cost in the UAE
The formula is simple: kilometres driven x litres per 100 km / 100 x price per litre. Drive 2,000 km a month in a car that uses 9 litres per 100 km and you burn 180 litres. At AED 4.04 for Special 95 that is about AED 727 a month, or AED 8,726 a year. The petrol calculator above does the same sum for any car and any grade, and adds your cost per km so you can compare it with a taxi or the Metro.
Monthly petrol cost by car type
Typical consumption figures at 1,500 km a month – roughly a Dubai to Sharjah commute plus weekend driving – using November 2026 prices.
| Car type | Consumption (L/100 km) | Fuel | Monthly cost (AED) | Cost per km (AED) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hybrid sedan | 5 | Special 95 | 303 | 0.20 |
| Compact sedan | 8 | Special 95 | 485 | 0.32 |
| Mid-size SUV | 11 | Special 95 | 667 | 0.44 |
| Large 4×4 | 15 | Super 98 | 936 | 0.62 |
Ways to cut your petrol budget
Use Special 95 unless your manual says 98 – most engines gain nothing from the premium grade. Keep tyres at the pressure on the door sticker, because soft tyres quietly add a few percent to consumption. Ease off the air conditioning at idle, avoid the E11 at peak crawl where you can and use fuel-station loyalty programmes from ADNOC, ENOC and EPPCO, which return a small cashback on every fill.
Your complete cost of driving
Fuel is usually only a third of the real cost. Stack the rest with our calculators: Salik tolls, parking, car loan EMI and depreciation – the silent one that costs more than fuel for most owners. If you’re weighing whether to drive at all, the Dubai taxi fare calculator gives you the other side of the sum.
