Gasoline prices increased in Qatar in May 2026, with Gasoline 95 priced at QR2.10 per litre and Gasoline 91 at QR1.90 per litre. Diesel prices, however, remained unchanged at QR2.05 per litre.
The ongoing Iran conflict has significantly disrupted global oil supplies since it began in early 2024. This disruption has contributed to rising fuel prices worldwide.
Former President Donald Trump stated that gasoline prices will fall substantially once the war in Iran concludes. He emphasized that the end of the conflict could lead to a stabilization of the oil market.
As of March 2025, the national average for regular unleaded gasoline in the U.S. was $4.85 per gallon, reflecting a significant increase since the onset of the Iran war.
The International Energy Agency reported that Iran’s oil exports have plummeted by 80% since the war began, leading to heightened gasoline demand and increased energy costs globally.
Experts caution that even if the war ends today, it may take weeks for lower crude prices to reach consumers at the pump. John Miller noted this potential delay in price adjustments.
The timeline for any decrease in gasoline prices post-conflict remains unclear. Analysts are closely monitoring geopolitical events that may influence future fuel costs.
The interplay between geopolitical tensions and fuel prices continues to affect consumers both in Qatar and around the world.
