The latest cut and the change since 7 November

The immediately preceding rates were PKR 338 for petrol and PKR 371 for diesel. Those figures follow directly from adding the announced reductions back to the new prices. AutoTrader’s 7 November coverage recorded PKR 346 and PKR 378 respectively. Comparing the two dated snapshots gives a fall of PKR 11 per litre for petrol and PKR 14 for diesel. The 12 November cut accounts for only part of that change. AutoTrader’s 7 November rates

What the change means for your next refill

At the announced rate, 10 litres of petrol cost PKR 3,350, down PKR 30 from the preceding rate. A 40-litre petrol purchase costs PKR 13,400, a saving of PKR 120 on the same quantity. For 50 litres of diesel, the new cost is PKR 18,200 and the saving is PKR 350. The examples use the announced rates and exclude applicable outlet freight. The saving on a partial refill depends on how many litres actually go into the tank.

Why diesel operators see a larger saving per litre

For a delivery van or a small fleet, the useful comparison is the fuel used on the same route. If a diesel operator buys 200 litres at the new rate, the latest cut lowers the fuel bill by PKR 1,400 compared with buying 200 litres at the preceding rate. That calculation assumes the same fuel quantity and comparable freight. Labour, tolls, tyres and maintenance are separate operating costs. A lower diesel price alone cannot tell a customer how a delivery quote will change.

How to track what you actually save

• Read the price per litre on the pump and check the grade before paying.

• Record the date, litres and total on each receipt so you can compare the same quantity.

• For a weekly estimate, multiply the litres you expect to buy by the current rate. Recalculate when a new rate takes effect.

• When comparing vehicles on AutoTrader Pakistan, use realistic fuel consumption for your own route and mileage.

For households and businesses buying fuel repeatedly, keep the per-litre change separate from the total bill. If you buy more litres than last time, the bill can rise even at a lower rate. Comparing like quantities shows the effect of the price cut. Comparing litres used on the same route shows what changed in consumption.
