Oman eyes new type of petrol

State-owned Oman Oil Refineries and Petroleum Industries Company (Orpic) is considering the introduction of M92 fuel, a new grade of Octane petrol, which will have the price and quality that fall between the regular M90 and the super grade M95. Selling the M92 fuel will bring in more revenues as it is more expensive than the regular grade and there is also a demand for it. “Most of the vehicles in Oman require M92. However, as it is not available motorists go for M95 and some compromise with M90,” said Hilal Al Hinai, general manager of Orpic. However, the government also needs to look into infrastructures that can provide three types of petrol.
