If you use a motorcycle, car, bus, truck or other fuel-powered vehicle, these changes affect the amount you pay for fuel and may influence transport expenses. This guide compares the reported prices for 27 and 28 October, explains how to check the official notification and highlights information that has not been independently confirmed.
You can start with the official OGRA price-publication portal to look for the dated fuel-price record. The figures below are corroborated by established news reports, but the original OGRA calculation sheet could not be independently inspected during this research.

What Changed in Petrol and Diesel Prices on 28 October?
The reported revision brought different changes for petrol and high-speed diesel.
Petrol became cheaper. Its reported rate fell from Rs 379.25 to Rs 376.06 per litre, a reduction of Rs 3.19. This may provide some relief to people who use petrol for daily commuting, including motorcycle users and private car owners.
High-speed diesel became more expensive. Its reported rate increased from Rs 395.82 to Rs 398.07 per litre, a rise of Rs 2.25 per litre. Diesel is widely used in heavy transport and other commercial activities, so changes in its price are relevant to transport operators and businesses that depend on diesel-powered vehicles.
The two fuels did not move in the same direction. Petrol decreased while diesel increased.
Dawn, Business Recorder and Geo News reported these figures in connection with the Petroleum Division notification. However, the detailed calculations behind the prices should not be treated as independently confirmed until the original OGRA document can be inspected.
Petrol and Diesel Prices on 27 October vs 28 October 2026
The following table compares the reported prices for the two dates.
| Fuel type | 27 October 2026 | 28 October 2026 | Reported change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol | Rs 379.25 | Rs 376.06 | −Rs 3.19 |
| High-speed diesel | Rs 395.82 | Rs 398.07 | +Rs 2.25 |
The differences are consistent with the reported figures. Petrol decreased by Rs 3.19 per litre, while high-speed diesel increased by Rs 2.25 per litre.

Is the detailed tax and levy breakdown confirmed?
A detailed tax and levy table is not included in this guide because the individual components could not be reconciled against the original OGRA price calculation sheet.
Some news reports discuss customs duty, petroleum levy, climate support levy and other pricing components. However, those reported amounts do not establish that every component has been verified or that the complete calculation sums exactly to the notified retail prices.
For that reason, this guide does not present an unverified breakdown as an official calculation. In particular, the reported customs-duty change should not be treated as a separate amount to add to the retail petrol price.
How to Check the Officially Notified Petrol Price
You can use the following steps to check the relevant price publication.
- Open the OGRA portal. Visit the official OGRA price-publication website.
- Find the dated publication. Look for the entry labelled “Price Publications Effective Dated October 28, 2026.” Check that you are viewing the correct date rather than an older record.
- Check the fuel product. Confirm whether the entry concerns petrol, high-speed diesel or another petroleum product. Do not assume that the prices of all fuel types changed by the same amount.
- Compare the reported rates. Check whether the document lists petrol at Rs 376.06 per litre and high-speed diesel at Rs 398.07 per litre.
- Consult the Petroleum Division. If you cannot access the OGRA publication, visit the Petroleum Division’s official news archive and look for the relevant dated announcement.
- Cross-check established reporting. Dawn, Business Recorder and Geo News have reported the same petrol and diesel prices. Their reports can help you understand the announcement, but they do not replace the original government document.
- Resolve any disagreement before sharing. If the official record and a news report appear inconsistent, check the publication date and applicable fuel product before relying on either figure.
During this research, the OGRA portal showed an entry for 28 October, but the original calculation sheet could not be independently inspected. If you encounter a similar access problem, do not treat a search-result snippet as proof that you have checked the full notification.
Who Do These Fuel Prices Apply To?
The figures discussed here are reported prices for petrol and high-speed diesel associated with the 28 October notification. They are useful for consumers who want to understand the announced rates and compare them with the previous day’s figures.
However, a reported notified price should not automatically be treated as a guarantee that every filling station will display an identical final price. The applicable pricing terms and any relevant freight or location-related factors must be checked against the official notification.
If the price displayed at a local station differs from the rate you expected, check the date of the notification and ask the station to clarify its displayed price. Consult the relevant official source before concluding that the station has applied an incorrect rate.
This guide does not establish a specific freight formula or confirm that every local retail price must equal the reported figure.
What about kerosene oil and light diesel oil?
The exact kerosene oil and light diesel oil rates for 28 October 2026 could not be confirmed from the original official price publication during this research.
Although these products are covered by reporting about Pakistan’s daily fuel-pricing framework, that does not establish their individual rates for this particular date.
Do not use an older price from a third-party website as if it were the confirmed 28 October rate. Check the relevant dated OGRA publication before relying on a figure for either product.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
When checking petrol and diesel prices, avoid these common errors:
- Using yesterday’s rates as today’s rates. The reported prices for 27 October differ from those reported for 28 October.
- Assuming both fuels move in the same direction. Petrol decreased while high-speed diesel increased in this reported revision.
- Confusing the publication date with the effective date. A news report may be published before the date on which its announced rates apply.
- Adding customs duty to the retail price without checking the calculation. A reported pricing component is not automatically an additional amount payable at the pump.
- Publishing unconfirmed kerosene or LDO rates. Their exact prices for 28 October have not been established from the original publication in this research.
- Assuming a validity end date. Do not claim that the rates remain in effect until a particular future date unless an official source confirms it.
- Treating a search snippet as a complete notification. A short result may not show the full calculation or all applicable conditions.
- Sharing an unverified fuel-price message. Check the date, product and source before forwarding a price update to other people.
