The Pakistani automotive scene has been hit yet again with a surge in fuel prices. For car owners, transporters, and daily commuters, this news adds more pressure to an already challenging cost of living.

As per the latest update from the Finance Division, petrol prices have climbed by Rs. 5.36 per liter, setting the new price at Rs. 272.15 per liter. High-speed diesel hasn't been spared either, with an increase of Rs. 11.37 per liter, pushing its price to Rs. 284.35 per liter.

This is not a standalone hike — it follows a series of price increases over recent months, each hitting the pockets of car owners and affecting the overall automotive market in Pakistan.
