Saudi Aramco announced plans to roll out its new 98‑octane gasoline in January 2026 based on the directives of the Ministry of Energy to meet domestic market needs, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
The step marks a significant milestone toward broadening consumer fuel choices and diversifying the company’s portfolio, while ensuring existing products remain unaffected.
In the first phase, Saudi Aramco will introduce the 98‑octane fuel in Riyadh, Jeddah, and the Dammam metropolitan area, expanding distribution along connecting highways.
The company picked up these locations because most high‑performance vehicles requiring this fuel are concentrated there.
Crucially, Aramco noted that an evaluation process for expanding availability will be carried out after reviewing demand levels.
Saudi Aramco underscored that its new 98‑octane fuel meets the demands of sports car drivers and high‑performance engines requiring a higher rating.
The company also revealed that it will publish the price of 98‑octane gasoline on its website’s retail fuel sales section when the product launches in the domestic market this month.
Aramco will periodically review the price of 98‑octane gasoline in line with governance procedures for adjusting energy and water products.
