The new prices were announced on the evening of Thursday 1 October and apply to Friday, 2 October, as first reported by [Dawn](https://www.dawn.com/news/2034025/govt-raises-petrol-price-by-rs326-per-litre-reduces-high-speed-diesel-rate-by-rs101-per-litre).

Business Recorder reports that the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) revised the ex-depot prices under the pricing mechanism notified by the federal government, citing changes in Platts rates, premiums and incidentals.

## What a full tank costs now

These figures use only the notified retail price above (Rs 390.66 for petrol, Rs 399.34 for diesel).

| Fill | Cost today | Change from yesterday |
|---|---|---|
| 10 litres of petrol (a typical 70cc or 125cc bike tank) | Rs 3,906.60 | +Rs 32.60 |
| 40 litres of petrol (a small car such as an Alto or Cultus) | Rs 15,626.40 | +Rs 130.40 |
| 50 litres of diesel (a pickup or SUV) | Rs 19,967.00 | -Rs 50.50 |

A rider who fills a 10-litre tank once a week pays about Rs 130 more over four weeks at today's price.

## Prices now change every day

This is not the old fortnightly review. According to Dawn, fuel prices are now fixed on a daily basis because of swings in international prices after renewed hostilities between Iran and the US. That means today's rates can change again tomorrow, up or down.

Dawn also reports that the government continues to collect **Rs 114 a litre** in taxes and duties on petrol and **Rs 100 a litre** on diesel. For context, Dawn notes petrol peaked at Rs 458.41 and diesel at Rs 520.35 on 3 April 2026, so both are still well below that high.

## What it means for you

- **Motorcyclists and car owners** pay more today. The rise is small per litre, but it adds up on a daily commute.
- **Transporters, farmers and generator users** get a slight cut on diesel. Diesel drives the cost of moving atta, vegetables and goods, so its daily moves matter more to prices in the bazaar than petrol's.
- **Do not queue to beat a change.** With prices now set daily, filling up early rarely saves more than a few rupees.

## Track the price day by day
