a Small Drop but Def a Good Start to the New Year!

On December 22, 2023, a receipt showed Special fuel at just 2.58 AED per liter, but the real excitement is for January 2026. The new rates are: SUPER 98 at 2.53 AED/L, SPECIAL 95 at 2.42 AED/L, E-PLUS 91 at 2.34 AED/L, and DIESEL at 2.55 AED/L.

That’s a noticeable dip from December 2025, when prices were a bit higher across the board. Every little bit counts, especially if you’re racking up those loyalty points—just like the 78 points earned on that December receipt!

Comparing the numbers

Let’s break it down: in December 2025, SUPER 98 was 2.7 AED/L, SPECIAL 95 was 2.58 AED/L, E-PLUS 91 was 2.51 AED/L, and DIESEL was 2.85 AED/L.
