Saudi Aramco has announced plans to introduce a new fuel product, Gasoline (98), into the domestic market beginning early 2026.
The move is part of efforts to meet evolving market requirements identified by the Ministry of Energy.
The new gasoline grade will be added to Aramco’s fuel portfolio without affecting existing fuel products.
It aims to provide consumers with more choices while meeting rising demand for specialized fuels.
According to the company, Gasoline (98) is designed specifically for sports cars and high-performance engines.
These vehicles require higher octane ratings to operate efficiently and deliver optimal performance.
The introduction is expected to support the automotive and energy sectors.
It will help enhance vehicle performance and improve fuel efficiency for advanced engines.
During the initial rollout, Gasoline (98) will be available only in Riyadh, Jeddah, and the Dammam metropolitan area.
This includes major connecting roadways where demand for such fuel is higher.
Aramco said the initial city selection reflects a higher concentration of vehicles requiring this fuel type.
Any expansion to other regions will be assessed later based on demand and consumption patterns.
The company confirmed that the retail price of Gasoline (98) will be announced on its official website.
Pricing details will be published on the retail fuel sales page.
Aramco added that prices will be subject to periodic review.
This will be done in line with the approved governance framework for energy and water product pricing.
The launch aligns with broader efforts to diversify energy products and respond to changing consumer needs.
It also supports economic activity linked to advanced automotive technologies.
