How fuel prices are set in Oman

Most countries in ETCurrency's coverage — Oman included — import refined petrol and diesel or the crude they are made from, and pay for it in US dollars. The retail price you see at the pump is therefore three things stacked together: the international product price, the exchange rate used to bring it into Omani Rial, and domestic taxes, levies, distribution margins and (often) subsidies.

Because the dollar cost is converted at the official exchange rate rather than the parallel one, fuel in countries with a large parallel premium looks cheap in dollar terms when you convert at the street rate. That is why the same litre can be quoted at two very different USD equivalents above.

Petrol vs diesel vs kerosene

In Oman, diesel is currently more expensive than petrol (0.26 vs 0.24 OMR per litre). Diesel is the fuel of transport, agriculture and generators, so governments frequently cap or subsidise it more heavily than petrol; petrol is taxed as a consumer good. Kerosene, where sold, is a household cooking and lighting fuel and is often the most heavily subsidised of all.

Only petrol and diesel are published for Oman; kerosene and aviation fuel are not shown rather than estimated.

How to read this price

Fuel prices in Oman change less often than exchange rates: regulated markets revise them monthly or quarterly, liberalised ones weekly. The date on this page is the date the price was published, so a figure that is a few weeks old is normal and is usually still the price at the pump.

Pump prices vary by region and station, and informal-market fuel is priced separately from official stations. Treat the figure here as the reference retail price for Oman, and use the exchange-rate pages to understand what it means in dollars.

Frequently asked questions

What is the petrol price in Oman today?

Petrol in Oman costs 0.24 OMR per litre and diesel 0.26 OMR per litre (published October 6, 2026).

How much is a litre of petrol in Oman in US dollars?

About $0.624 per litre at the official exchange rate of 0.38 OMR/USD. At the parallel-market rate the dollar equivalent is lower because the same OMR price buys fewer dollars.

Why is fuel in Oman cheap or expensive compared with other countries?

Because the dollar cost of fuel is similar everywhere, the differences come from taxes, subsidies and the exchange rate used. Oil-exporting and subsidising countries sit at the bottom of the ranking; heavily taxed importers at the top.

How often do fuel prices change in Oman?

Regulated markets revise prices monthly or when crude and the exchange rate move sharply; liberalised markets adjust weekly. ETCurrency refreshes published prices weekly and marks each price with its publication date.
