Petrol Price in Islamabad Today — Official 8 Sept 2026

Today's Petroleum Rates in Islamabad (8 Sept 2026)

Why Islamabad pays the same notified rate

Islamabad lies roughly 1,142 km from Karachi in a straight line — further by road — and every litre sold here has to travel that distance from the port and refinery complex where imported product lands. That journey is not billed to you directly. OGRA folds it into the Inland Freight Equalisation Margin, currently PKR 7.60 per litre on petrol, and pools it nationally, which is why Islamabad pays the same notified rate as Karachi despite the haul.

For scale: driving that 1,142 km yourself in a car averaging 12 km/litre would burn about 95 litres, or roughly PKR 34,142.95 at today's Islamabad petrol rate. Work out your own routes with the trip fuel cost calculator.
