Saudi Aramco Launches 98-Octane Gasoline for High-Performance Vehicles

Dammam, January 04, 2026, SPA -- Based on guidance from the Ministry of Energy regarding domestic market needs, Saudi Aramco announced the launch of its 98-octane gasoline product, which will begin supplying in January 2026 as part of efforts to expand consumer fuel options and diversify its product portfolio without affecting existing products in the market.
As an initial phase, the product will be made available in Riyadh, Jeddah, and the Dammam metropolitan area, as well as along connecting highways, given that most vehicles requiring this fuel type are concentrated in these locations. The company noted that any expansion of availability will be assessed following a review of demand levels.
Saudi Aramco confirmed that the product meets the needs of sports vehicle users and high-performance engines that require a higher octane rating.
The company indicated that the price of 98-octane gasoline will be published on its website under the retail fuel sales section at the time of its launch in the domestic market this month. The price will be reviewed periodically in accordance with the governance procedures for adjusting energy and water product prices.
