How much does fuel cost from Karachi to Lahore?

Karachi to Lahore is approximately 1,210 km via M-9 + M-5 + M-4 + M-3 + M-2 motorway combination. At the current 30 May 2026 OGRA-notified petrol rate of Rs 381.78 per litre: Suzuki Cultus (14 km/l) = 86.4 litres × 381.78 = approximately Rs 32,986 one-way. Honda Civic (12 km/l) = roughly Rs 38,489. Toyota Fortuner (8 km/l) = roughly Rs 57,734. Honda 70 motorcycle (48 km/l) = roughly Rs 9,623. Add Rs 1,200 to 3,500 in motorway tolls depending on vehicle category. Always re-check OGRA's current notification before locking in a long-trip budget.

What is the mileage of common Pakistani cars?

City driving / highway average for Pakistani conditions. Suzuki Mehran 16 to 18 km/l, Alto 18 to 22 km/l, Cultus / Wagon R 13 to 15 km/l, Bolan 12 to 14 km/l. Honda City 13 to 15 km/l, Civic 11 to 13 km/l. Toyota Yaris 14 to 16 km/l, Corolla 11 to 13 km/l, Fortuner 7 to 9 km/l. KIA Sportage 10 to 12 km/l, Hyundai Tucson 11 to 13 km/l. Suzuki Alto and Yaris are currently the most fuel-efficient new cars under Rs 35 lakh.

How much does Honda 70 cost in fuel per month?

Honda CD-70 gives 45 to 50 km/l. For a daily 30 km round-trip commute (typical Karachi or Lahore office worker, 22 working days): 660 km / month ÷ 48 km/l = 13.75 litres × Rs 381.78 (current OGRA-notified petrol rate as of 30 May 2026, down from Rs 403.78 the prior cycle) = approximately Rs 5,249 per month. For a 60 km / day commute: roughly Rs 10,500 / month. Honda 70 remains the cheapest viable transport for Pakistani salary earners under Rs 100,000 / month at current fuel prices.

Is CNG cheaper than petrol in Pakistan?

Where CNG is available (mainly KP, parts of Sindh, limited Punjab), yes, roughly 35 to 40 percent cheaper per kilometre at the current rate. Example: Suzuki Mehran on petrol at Rs 381.78 / l ÷ 17 km / l = Rs 22.46 per km. Same car on CNG at Rs 300 / kg ÷ 22 km / kg = Rs 13.64 per km. Saving roughly 39 percent per km, narrower than at the Rs 403.78 cycle but still meaningful. Caveats: CNG availability has shrunk significantly since 2023 due to gas shortages, kit + cylinder fitting costs Rs 80,000 to 150,000 upfront, vehicles lose 10 to 15 percent power, resale value drops, and load-shedding interrupts supply in winter. Break-even is typically 30,000 to 50,000 km of driving.

How is fuel cost calculated?

Two-step formula. Step 1: Fuel needed = Distance ÷ Vehicle Mileage. Step 2: Cost = Fuel needed × Fuel price per litre. Example: 500 km trip ÷ 15 km/l = 33.33 litres. At the current Rs 381.78 / l OGRA-notified petrol rate (effective 30 May 2026, down from Rs 403.78 the prior cycle) = approximately Rs 12,726. Always use the actual rate from your last fill if it differs from the OGRA notification (some pumps add a small markup).

How to calculate 1 litre per km?

Drive a known distance on a full tank, then refill to full at the same pump. The liters added at refill divided into the distance driven = your km/l mileage. Example: drove 280 km, refilled with 20 liters → 14 km/l mileage. For more accurate average: repeat across 3 to 4 tank cycles and average them, single-tank readings vary by traffic, AC use, and driving style.

How often does OGRA update Pakistani fuel prices?

OGRA (Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority) announces revised fuel prices on the 1st and 16th of every month (fortnightly cycle). Prices fluctuate with international crude prices, USD-PKR exchange rate, and government taxes/petroleum levy. Major sources to check current price: OGRA official website, PSO website, Geo News fuel-price ticker, Dawn or The News.

How do I calculate monthly fuel budget?

Daily km × working days per month ÷ vehicle km/l × current fuel price. Example: 25 km/day round trip × 22 working days = 550 km / month. Suzuki Cultus at 14 km/l = 39.3 litres × Rs 381.78 (current OGRA-notified petrol rate, 30 May 2026) = approximately Rs 15,004 / month base. Add 10 to 15 percent for weekend / errand driving = roughly Rs 17,255 / month realistic total. For Pakistani salary planning, fuel typically runs 5 to 15 percent of gross monthly income, anything above 15 percent suggests a smaller-engine alternative.
