Petrol Prices in Oman

Petrol is widely available across Oman, with different grades designed for different vehicle requirements.

The main petrol grades include M91, M95 and premium 98 fuel. The right choice depends on the vehicle manufacturer's recommended fuel grade rather than simply choosing the highest-octane option.

In September 2026, its retail price is OMR 0.229 per liter. For drivers using a vehicle approved for M91, it can be a practical option for everyday city driving and longer journeys across Oman.

It is a higher-octane petrol grade than M91 and is suitable for vehicles whose manufacturers recommend 95-octane fuel. Always check the vehicle's fuel requirements before choosing between M91 and M95.

Premium 98 petrol is designed for vehicles that require or benefit from higher-octane fuel. Oman Oil Marketing Company lists Ultimax 98 at OMR 0.399 per liter for September 2026. Drivers should follow the fuel grade specified by the vehicle manufacturer rather than assuming that premium fuel is necessary for every car.

The total expense will depend on the distance traveled, the vehicle’s fuel consumption, and the load it carries.

Fuel-Efficient Cars for Driving in Oman

Fuel efficiency is not the only factor to consider when choosing a car for driving in Oman. The right vehicle depends on how you plan to use it and where you will be driving.

For city trips, a smaller car with lower fuel consumption can be a practical choice, especially when most journeys are short and involve frequent stops. For longer road trips, a vehicle with good fuel economy and a comfortable interior can help keep running costs under control.

The number of passengers and the amount of luggage also matter. A compact car may use less fuel, but a larger vehicle can be more suitable for families or travelers carrying several bags. Your route is another important factor. City streets, highways, mountain roads, and longer journeys can all affect fuel consumption.
