What is the best road trip planner for Pakistan?

PlanDrivo is a free road trip planner made for Pakistan. It shows the route, distance, travel time, fuel cost and motorway toll tax in one place, using official OGRA fuel prices and NHA toll rates.

How do I calculate the total cost of a road trip in Pakistan?

Enter your route and car in the planner. PlanDrivo adds the fuel cost for the distance and the motorway toll tax on the way, and shows the total trip cost and cost per passenger.

Is the motorway or GT Road cheaper?

It depends on the route. The motorway has toll tax but is faster and usually gives a better fuel average; GT Road has less toll but more traffic. The planner compares both so you can choose.

Can I plan a multi-city or round trip?

Yes. Add stops for a multi-city trip, or choose round trip to include the journey back with fuel and toll for both ways.

Does the trip cost include motorway toll tax?

Yes. Toll tax for your route and vehicle is added to the total automatically.

Yes. PlanDrivo is free and needs no sign-up.

When are petrol prices revised in Pakistan?

Petroleum prices in Pakistan are revised fortnightly (every 15 days) by the Ministry of Finance upon recommendations from the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA). New rates take effect at midnight on the 1st and 16th of each calendar month.

How much does it cost to fill a Suzuki Alto 660cc fuel tank in Pakistan?

The Suzuki Alto 660cc has a fuel tank capacity of 27 liters. Refilling an empty tank to full costs approximately Rs. 7,200 to Rs. 10,600 depending on the active OGRA Super Petrol rate per liter.

Are petrol prices the same across all cities in Pakistan?

Yes. Pakistan utilizes an Inland Freight Equalization Margin (IFEM) mechanism that subsidizes and equalizes transportation freight from coastal ports in Karachi across designated upcountry oil depots. As a result, official ex-depot retail rates for Super Petrol and Diesel remain uniform in major cities including Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, and Multan.

What is the Petroleum Development Levy (PDL) on petrol in Pakistan?

The Petroleum Development Levy (PDL) is a direct government charge collected on petroleum products to generate sovereign fiscal revenue under IMF economic stabilization programs. While General Sales Tax (GST) on petrol is currently set at 0%, the PDL is incorporated directly into the ex-depot consumer price.

Does my car need High Octane (97 RON) or regular Super Petrol (92 RON)?

Standard naturally aspirated domestic vehicles (such as Suzuki Alto, Cultus, Toyota Yaris, and Honda City) are engineered for Euro-V 92 RON Super Petrol and do not experience performance gains with 100% High Octane. However, turbocharged or direct-injection vehicles (such as Honda Civic 1.5 RS Turbo, Haval H6, and European imports) require 95+ RON fuel to prevent engine knocking and maintain full power output.

Regulatory Mechanism

How Petrol Prices Are Determined in Pakistan

Petroleum pricing in Pakistan is established by the Oil & Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) and approved fortnightly by the Ministry of Finance using an official cost-plus structure:

1. Arab Gulf Platts Benchmark (FOB):The baseline ex-refinery price is linked to international refined product pricing over the preceding 15-day period.

2. Currency Exchange Parity (USD/PKR):Depreciation of the Pakistani Rupee increases import landed costs even when global oil prices remain flat.

3. Inland Freight Equalization Margin (IFEM):An equalization freight pool subsidizing transportation from Karachi ports to upcountry depots, ensuring uniform ex-depot consumer pricing across all provinces.

4. Petroleum Development Levy (PDL):A direct federal fiscal charge on petroleum to support national non-tax revenues under economic reform programs.

Fuel Grade Guide

Super Petrol (92 RON) vs. Hi-Octane (97 RON)

Should you pay extra for High Octane in Pakistan? The answer depends entirely on your vehicle's engine compression ratio:

Regular Cars (660cc to 1.6L Naturally Aspirated):Cars like Suzuki Alto, Cultus, Toyota Yaris, and Honda City are engineered for Euro-V 92 RON Super Petrol. Running 100% High Octane provides negligible power or mileage benefits, while inflating your fuel bill by 10%+.

Turbocharged & High-Compression Engines:Vehicles such as Honda Civic RS Turbo, Haval H6 1.5T/2.0T, Oshan X7, and European models require 95+ RON to prevent pre-ignition knocking. A 50/50 blend of Super and Hi-Octane protects the engine while keeping refuel costs balanced.

BI-MONTHLY REVISION CALENDAR:

New official petroleum notifications take effect at midnight on the 1st and 16th of each month.
