Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the government considering speed limits?

High driving speeds increase fuel consumption, and imposing limits can help save fuel and reduce energy costs.

How much has petrol and diesel increased?

Petrol now costs Rs321.17 per litre, up Rs55, while diesel is Rs335.86 per litre.

Can Pakistan import Russian oil to meet fuel shortages?

Currently, it is not feasible due to refinery limitations and environmental levies on heavy crude.

How are lifestyle changes linked to fuel savings?

Reducing unnecessary travel, adopting fuel-efficient driving habits, and work-from-home arrangements can significantly lower energy consumption.

Is furnace oil a sustainable solution?

Furnace oil is polluting and subject to carbon levies, so it is a short-term measure rather than a long-term solution.
