FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Austin, Texas, April 9, 2007 — MV Oil Trust (NYSE Symbol — MVO) announced the Trust distribution of Net Profits for the first quarterly Payment Period ended March 31, 2007.

Unitholders of record on April 16, 2007 will receive a distribution amounting to $6,133,463 or $.533344609 per unit payable April 25, 2007.

The first quarter 2007 distribution of Net Profits was impacted by production curtailment during the first quarterly Payment Period affecting the underlying properties as the result of severe winter storms that severely impacted western Kansas and eastern Colorado.  The snow and ice associated with these storms disabled electrical power to the affected underlying properties for an extended period of time and rendered some properties inaccessible. Significant snow accumulations, along with ice and subsequent melting, created difficult working conditions that have extended the curtailment period. It is currently estimated that production from the underlying properties of approximately 32,000 to 36,000 net barrels of oil has been deferred as the result of curtailment due to the storms during the first quarter.  Most of the production curtailed as a result of these storms was restored by the end of March 2007, and the storm effects on production from the underlying properties should be greatly reduced during the second quarterly Payment Period.

The first quarter 2007 distribution of Net Profits was also impacted by the inclusion of lease maintenance and development costs billed in December 2006.  Such costs were included in the calculation of the first quarter 2007 distribution because of the cash method of accounting.
