The fuels that are most common in Pakistan include:

• Petrol (Super and Hi-Octane)

• Diesel (High Speed and Low Speed)

• Kerosene

• Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)

The fuel prices in Pakistan are subject to change without any prior notice to the public and are usually announced on television and online.

Other Fuels in Pakistan

Petroleum is one of the most common fuels for vehicles around the world as well as in Pakistan. It is also known as gasoline and is available widely across the country. Petroleum, or gasoline, is obtained through fractional distillation of crude oil. Petrol prices in Pakistan frequently change and can be found here easily.

Diesel

It is also obtained from petroleum but is specifically suited to diesel engines. It is another popular form of fuel used widely across Pakistan. Diesel provides value-for-money and enhanced acceleration. It is an ideal fuel for trucks, buses, trains, etc. Diesel prices in Pakistan can be found on this page.

Compressed Natural gas (CNG)

CNG is an environment-friendly fuel option that contains compressed methane gas. It is usually cheaper than petroleum and diesel and is an affordable alternative. It is most suitable for buses, vans, trucks as well as passenger cars if boot space is not compromised.

Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) & Kerosene

LPG and kerosene are least likely to be used as vehicle fuels but are still used in some specific vehicles.

The quality of petroleum is determined with the help of its Octane number. The octane number shows how well the petroleum can resist knocking and provide efficient performance. There are several reputable petroleum providers in Pakistan, which include Pakistan State Oil, Attock Petroleum Limited, Total Parco, Shell Pakistan, and Hascol Petroleum. These oil refinery companies are responsible for the majority of petrol distribution in Pakistan.

For a long time period of time, Pakistan had a supply of low-grade petrol in the country while the rest of the world was using finer quality fuel in their automobiles. Even the most undeveloped countries had better quality fuel supplies than Pakistan. It was the year 2016 when Pakistan started to import better quality petrol with a higher Research Octane Number (RON), 92 to be exact. Today, most oil marketing companies in Pakistan refine RON 95 or 97 petrol.

High Octane Petrol Price in Pakistan

OGRA does not control Hi-Octane petrol prices in Pakistan. Thus, Hi-Octane prices vary across different Petrol Pumps.

Euro Fuel Emission Standards in Pakistan

Pakistan has officially adopted the Euro V emission standards to improve engine performance of our vehicles.This also helps create a greener environment for Pakistan's future generations.

Previously, Pakistan adopted the Euro II Emission Standards back in 2012, when Euro II was already outdated. Now, Pakistan has skipped Euro III and Euro IV to adopt Euro V standards in 2020 which was actually introduced in 2009 in other countries. Currently many countries are following Euro VI Emission Standards since 2014, and would switch to Euro VII which is expected around 2025.
