As of September 8, 2025, here's a look at the latest petrol and diesel prices and related factors in different regions:

South Africa

Motorists in South Africa experienced a decrease in fuel prices in September 2025. This was attributed to a drop in international oil prices and a stronger Rand-Dollar exchange rate. In early August 2025, projections indicated potential price reductions of 8c/l for Petrol 95 and 15c/l for Petrol 93. Diesel prices showed a more substantial decrease, with Diesel 0.05% potentially decreasing by 39c/l and Diesel 0.005% by 41c/l. These projections were based on over-recovery in petrol prices (6 to 12 cents per litre) and diesel prices (10 to 12 cents per litre). The decline in commodity prices, especially oil (down 12.1% in the first half of 2025 with an additional 8% drop in August) contributed to this relief. Market analysts anticipated continued downward pressure on oil prices due to a potential supply glut.

United Arab Emirates (UAE)

The UAE's fuel price committee announced petrol and diesel prices for September 2025 at the end of August 2025. Super 98 petrol costs Dh2.70 a litre (compared to Dh2.69 in August), Special 95 costs Dh2.58 a litre (compared to Dh2.57 in August), and E-Plus category petrol is available for Dh2.51 a litre (compared to Dh2.50 in August). Diesel costs Dh2.66 a litre, compared to Dh2.78 a litre in August.

India

In India, diesel prices are linked to international crude prices and are determined by Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs). These companies may charge different prices based on transportation and other costs. The final selling price includes dealer costs. While the central excise duty remains consistent across India, Value Added Tax (VAT) varies by state.

Ahmedabad, India

Today's diesel price in Ahmedabad, Gujarat is Rs. 89.95 per litre. The last price change occurred on September 7, 2025, with a decrease of -0.22 rupees. Throughout September 2025, diesel prices in Ahmedabad have fluctuated between Rs 89.95 and Rs 90.32.

Factors Influencing Diesel Prices

Diesel prices are generally cheaper than petrol due to differing state and federal taxes and variations in dealer commissions. The recovery in diesel prices is noteworthy because of its importance in the transport and logistics sectors. Shortages and high demand in the aviation sector had previously increased prices, but Bloomberg's analysis indicated rising diesel inventories.
