Oman Fuel Cost Calculator

Monthly and annual fuel spend at current Oman petrol prices. Calculate by litres used, or by km driven plus engine efficiency.

How Oman fuel pricing works

Oman removed retail fuel subsidies in January 2017. The Ministry of Energy and Minerals (MEM) sets monthly retail fuel prices in line with global benchmarks plus a fixed local margin. Prices are identical at all stations nationwide.

Worked example

A Muscat commute of 80 km/day × 22 working days = 1,760 km/month. A typical sedan at 9 L/100km uses 158 L/month. At M-95 (OMR 0.249): OMR 39.30 per month, OMR 472 per year.
