The top five selling vehicles in Oman can all run on M91, according to a website created by Orpic for drivers to select the best fuel for their cars.
Toyota models like Hilux, Land Cruiser Pickup, Land Cruiser SUV, Prado and Corolla can all use the new fuel.
The Hyundai Elantra, among the top-10 selling cars in the country, can also use the new fuel.
Dodge Ram, Jeep Wrangler, Honda Accord, Suzuki Swift, Nissan Altima, Hyundai Veloster and all BMW models beside the M series can run on M91 fuel.
However, M95 is considered the optimum fuel grade for some models such as Land Rover Discovery, Mitsubishi Pajero, Porsche Cayenne and the BMW M series.
A website launched by Orpic determines which grade of fuel best suits the vehicle. Drivers would input the brand, make, engine capacity and year of make and the website would then determine whether M91 or M95 best suits the vehicle.
A ministry spokesman said drivers should consult their owner manuals, if in any doubt over the best fuel for their car’s engine.
