Today's petrol price in Pakistan is Rs 396.65 per litre and high-speed diesel is Rs 394.94 per litre, effective from 8 October 2026 as notified by OGRA and the Petroleum Division. Enter your trip distance and vehicle mileage below to estimate the fuel cost of any journey. Prices are updated manually on this page, and since Pakistan moved to daily fuel pricing in July 2026, always confirm the current rate at the pump before filling up.
How to use the petrol price page
- Check the price cards at the top for today's petrol and diesel rates and the effective from date.
- To plan a trip, choose your Fuel (petrol or diesel), enter the Trip distance in kilometres and your vehicle's Mileage in km per litre.
- Read the estimated fuel needed and the total trip cost, which updates as you type.
- Before a long journey, re-check the effective date — prices can now change daily.
How fuel prices are set in Pakistan
Pakistan's fuel prices are worked out by the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) and notified by the Petroleum Division. Since July 2026 the country uses daily pricing: OGRA calculates the rate from a seven-day rolling average of international Platts prices, import premiums, freight and the rupee-dollar exchange rate. On top of the import cost come the inland freight equalisation margin (which keeps the price the same in every city), oil company and dealer margins, and government levies — the petroleum levy, climate support levy and customs duty, which together add well over Rs 100 to every litre of petrol.
The price shown on this page is the ex-depot notified rate, which is what pumps charge before any small local variation. Because the data file on this page is updated by hand, there can be a short delay after a notification — the effective date on the price card tells you exactly which notification the figures come from.
Using the trip cost calculator
The calculator divides your trip distance by your vehicle's mileage to find the litres needed, then multiplies by the current per-litre price. A 350 km trip from Lahore to Islamabad in a car doing 14 km/l needs about 25 litres — roughly Rs 9,900 in petrol at today's rate. For monthly budgeting, multiply your daily commute distance by your working days: a 40 km daily round trip at 12 km/l costs a little over Rs 39,600 a month in fuel alone at current prices. Bike riders typically get 40–50 km/l, small cars 12–15, and larger SUVs 8–10 — use your own tested mileage for the most accurate estimate, since manufacturer claims are usually optimistic.
Limitations
This page shows petrol and high-speed diesel only; kerosene and light diesel oil are not tracked here. Prices are updated manually, so during volatile periods the figure here may lag the latest OGRA notification by hours — the effective date on the card is your guarantee of which revision is shown. The trip calculator is an estimate: real fuel use varies with traffic, air-conditioning, load, tyre pressure and driving style, typically by 10–20%.
Frequently asked questions
What is the petrol price in Pakistan today?
Rs 396.65 per litre, effective 8 October 2026. High-speed diesel is Rs 394.94 per litre. This page is updated manually from OGRA notifications.
How often do petrol prices change in Pakistan?
Since July 2026, OGRA revises prices daily based on a seven-day rolling average of international prices. Before that, revisions were fortnightly.
Why is the price the same in every city?
The inland freight equalisation margin (IFEM) spreads transport costs evenly, so the notified price applies from Karachi to Khyber.
Why is diesel sometimes cheaper or costlier than petrol?
Petrol and diesel follow different international benchmarks and tax structures, so their prices move independently — diesel can be above or below petrol.
How much of the price is tax?
Roughly a quarter to a third of the pump price is government levies and duties — the petroleum levy, climate support levy and customs duty.
Is this an official OGRA page?
No. This is an independent reference page. For the official notification, check OGRA's website or the Petroleum Division's press releases.
