The UAE petrol price for August 2025 has officially been revealed. Announced by the UAE Fuel Price Committee, petrol and diesel prices have increased across the board for next month. UAE petrol prices August 2025 Super 98 petrol: Dhs2.69 per litre, compared to Dhs2.70 per litre last month Dhs2.69 per litre, compared to Dhs2.70 per litre last month Super 95 petrol: Dhs2.57 per litre, compared to Dhs2.58 per litre last month Dhs2.57 per litre, compared to Dhs2.58 per litre last month E-Plus 91 petrol: Dhs2.50 per litre, compared to Dhs2.51 per litre last month Dhs2.50 per litre, compared to Dhs2.51 per litre last month Diesel: Dhs2.78 per litre, compared to Dhs2.63 per litre last month Rates of petrol and diesel in the UAE are changed every month by the UAE Fuel Price Committee. When are new fuel prices announced in the UAE? UAE petroleum prices will change next month (Credit: Supplied) Fuel prices in the UAE are announced on the final day of every month and come into force the following day. This means that the UAE Fuel Price Committee announced new rates on Thursday July 31. Prices change the following day, on Friday August 1. Fuel prices in the country were liberalised in 2015, with local rates being aligned with global oil prices. For the past 10 years, the fuel price committee has met on a monthly basis to announce revised rates. UAE fuel types explained UAE petroleum prices change every month (Credit: Canva) Super 98 petrol is a high-octane fuel grade and is designed for high-performance engines and luxury vehicles. Super 95 petrol is an unleaded petroleum used by vehicles that require higher octane fuel to perform to their highest standard. E-Plus 91 petrol is the lowest grade of petrol available in the UAE. This is mainly used by fleets, commercial vehicles and standard cars. Diesel is known for its higher efficiency and is commonly found in buses, trains and large trucks. Do not put diesel in a car that requires unleaded fuel. How have UAE petrol prices changed over the past year? UAE petrol prices fluctuate based on a wide variety of factors – including seasonal variations, geopolitical events and global oil prices. This is reflected in the changing costs of petrol in the UAE since the start of 2024. In December, the price of petrol and diesel in the UAE reached its lowest point of 2024 and 2025 started things off with the exact same rates.

UAE petrol and diesel prices for August 2025 confirmed
It's that time again. UAE petrol prices for the month have just dropped, and whether you're filling up once a week or every few days, it's worth knowing what August looks like. The Fuel Price Committee has announced the updated rates for UAE petrol and diesel across the country, and yes, there's been a shift. These monthly price updates reflect global oil trends, and this month, drivers are seeing a slight adjustment. Here's what's changed. Super 98 For those filling up with Super 98 petrol, the price has dipped slightly. August's rate is Dhs2.69 per litre, down from Dhs2.70 in July. Special 95 If you use Special 95, you'll also see a small drop – now Dhs2.57 per litre, compared to Dhs2.58 last month. E-Plus 91 Drivers using E-Plus 91 will pay Dhs2.50 per litre, down from Dhs2.51 in July. A minor change, but it all adds up over the month. Diesel Unlike petrol, diesel has gone up. This month it's priced at Dhs2.78 per litre, rising from Dhs2.63 last month. So, if you're in a diesel vehicle, you'll be paying a little more at the pump. That's the full breakdown for August. Whether you're commuting daily, road-tripping across the Emirates, or just topping up here and there, it's always smart to stay updated on what's happening with fuel. We'll be keeping an eye on it again for September. > Sign up for FREE to get exclusive updates that you are interested in

What makes branded experiences truly memorable?
I was recently meeting with a potential client and someone said something that stuck, 'You guys are mostly known for mall roadshows. What else do you do?' I smiled. I have heard this before. What people generally see is the spectacle, the photobooth, the pop-up, the mall buzz. What they don't see is the iceberg beneath it: months of strategy, data modelling, creative iterations, relentless planning and experiences designed across all channels. I answered, 'We have worked with brands that had struggled to get shelf space in retail. After rethinking their go-to-market approach and aligning strategy across messaging, merchandising, and experiential, they went from invisible to unmissable, prime shelf space, omnichannel presence, and real consumer engagement.' In an age where AI can generate concepts in seconds and everyone has a Canva login, the real challenge isn't ideation, it's connection. As Dubai's peak retail season will kick in, a time when malls are buzzing, brands compete for attention and footfall becomes currency, the true battleground isn't visibility: it's value and resonance. Strategy before spectacle Immersive experiences only work when they serve a purpose. Are we truly connecting with the audience, or simply entertaining them? Are we crafting something memorable or just ticking the 'experiential' box with a photobooth and a celebrity cutout? Before a single light goes up, there should be clarity around one thing: what is our North Star? Not what's trending, not what competitors are doing. But what truth is our brand here to champion, express or solve? Because the real challenge isn't budget, its misalignment. True ROI doesn't come from presence it comes from purpose. Reinventing retail experiences in the age of attention Today's audiences don't just want to watch, they want to feel, share and participate. They want to be part of a story that reflects their values, their identity, their aspirations. Too many campaigns treat the event as the climax, not a chapter. And storytelling isn't linear anymore. It unfolds before the event (awareness, curiosity), during (engagement, emotional interaction), and after the event (loyalty, word of mouth). If the story ends when the campaign wraps, we haven't built a memory, we have built a moment. And moments fade. Immersive marketing at its best feels like theatre: part tech, part anthropology and all brand DNA. Because in this region, understanding people's habits, rituals and cultural rhythms its much more than nice to have. It's the difference between a campaign that performs and one that truly connects. It is strategic and not just tactical. In 2025, we are not competing for attention. We are competing for meaning. AI makes us faster. Insight makes us smarter. Passive experiences no longer cut it. The strongest experiential campaigns are those that encourage participation whether through gamification, co-creation or real time feedback. Interactivity not only boosts time spent at the activation but also deepens emotional investment. In one FMCG campaign, a mood-based quiz increased time on site by 40 per cent longer and boosted product trial by 23 per cent Engagement → Interest → Action. That is the formula. AI can help us build faster, especially when time to market is short during peak season. Ai however is not here to replace the human instinct that comes from truly understanding and caring for the audience. It is here to supercharge it. The real opportunity with Ai lies in amplifying insight led storytelling at scale, making moments feel personal, even in the chaos of crowded malls and high frequency campaigns. Authentic experiences over optics Peak season is also a time when authenticity cuts through the noise. Audiences can spot brand posturing from a mile away. What they appreciate more is honesty, inclusion, relevance. Designs that acknowledge culture. Campaigns that feel real. In a region with rich storytelling roots, brands have an opportunity to reconnect with something timeless: making people feel seen. So, as we dive into this high – stake season, it is worth remembering that success doesn't start at the mall stand, it starts at the strategy table. It is about building shared, meaningful moments between brands and people. By Adriana Usvat, Managing Partner, FLC Marketing Group.
