Guide #2 • MoEI Pricing Mechanism 6 min read • Updated November 1, 2026

How the UAE Fuel Price Committee (MoEI) Calculates Monthly Petrol & Diesel Prices Since 2015 Deregulation

In August 2015, the United Arab Emirates became the first nation in the GCC to deregulate retail petrol and diesel subsidies, linking domestic pump prices directly to global oil markets. Every month, the UAE Fuel Price Committee—chaired by the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure (MoEI)—calculates next month's unified retail rates using a transparent formula based on average international refined fuel prices, local transport/distribution margins, and 5% VAT.

While many Dubai drivers assume Super 98 is "cleaner" or gives more power to every car, octane strictly measures knock resistance (pre-ignition under high compression and extreme Gulf summer temperatures).
