A modest relief day: fuel ceilings effective 17 October 2026 came in below the previous notification. Commuters filling up after midnight are the first to see the change.
Petrol is now Rs 386.30 per litre, down Rs 3.93 from Rs 390.23 the day before.
Diesel is listed at Rs 396.96 per litre on the same effective date.
Hi-octane (HOBC) remains deregulated by city and oil company. An indicative quote near this revision is around Rs 400 per litre.
If you waited for relief before a big refill, confirm the board matches the new rate. Some stations update stickers a little later than the headline figure.
Small businesses that price deliveries around diesel should revisit quotes after a sharp move. Passing through even part of the litre change keeps margins honest.
If you are comparing cars on running cost, pair this update with your typical monthly kilometres. A few coins per litre compounds across a commute month.
A cut is welcome, but it does not erase earlier hikes in the same month. Look at the week's path on the chart before calling the trend finished.
Office carpools and family shared cars should agree who refuels after a revision lands. Splitting a tank across two price regimes is a quiet way to quarrel over a few coins.
Local pump prices can still differ by city and station even when the headline rate is clear. Use the published litre rate as your reference, then trust the board in front of you for the final fill amount.
Bookmark the Pakistan fuel prices tool if you check rates before a long drive. It stays aligned with the 17 October revision logged here.
Keep an eye on the next midnight window if you expect another move, and treat any large single-day jump as one data point. For car buyers, refresh fuel assumptions after each clear revision.
