QatarEnergy set Qatar’s retail fuel prices for October 2026, according to a Qatar News Agency report dated September 30. Diesel is priced at QAR 2.05 per litre, Super 95 gasoline at QAR 2.10 per litre and Premium 91 gasoline at QAR 1.95 per litre. QNA reported that diesel and Super 95 were unchanged from September, while Premium 91 was lower than the previous month. These are announced pump prices effective for October, not a global oil benchmark or a live market quotation.

The notice lists separate prices for commonly used fuel grades. That distinction matters: gasoline grades with different octane ratings and diesel are not interchangeable products. The reported unit is riyals per litre. The schedule applies to the announced month; the source does not separately describe differences by outlet, tax treatment or fleet contract, so those conditions should not be assumed. The report also gives no consumption, sales-volume or refinery-cost figures.

Editorial analysis: An announced monthly pump price can help households and transport businesses plan near-term budgets. A single month’s tariff change, however, cannot establish the direction of overall inflation or future energy costs. The effect of fuel spending depends on the volume used and on each business’s transport and production structure. The reduction for Premium 91 applies only to that grade’s announced price; it does not mean every fuel became cheaper.

The two unchanged prices do not show that consumers’ total spending necessarily stayed constant, because spending also depends on litres purchased. Similarly, a stable retail tariff does not prove that wholesale energy-market costs were unchanged. This report is limited to the three nominal retail prices and the month-on-month qualitative comparison given by QNA. The source does not provide the tariff formula or a per-product tax breakdown, so no cost-component calculation is added.

These prices should not be equated directly with international crude-oil prices. Crude, refined products, distribution and retail prices belong to different stages and may use different currencies and units. The QAR-per-litre values have therefore not been converted into other countries’ prices, and no forecast absent from the source is included. November’s schedule can only be known from a later official announcement; October’s prices do not establish the next month’s tariff.
