IslamabadPetrol costs Rs393.64 a litre Tuesday, Rs114 of it tax.

Petrol mainly fuels two-wheelers and rickshaws, so price changes hit Pakistan’s middle and lower-middle classes.

Diesel fell Rs1.88 to Rs397.76, with Rs100 a litre in taxes, far below April’s Rs520.35 peak.

The 50% cut in official-vehicle fuel allocations runs three months, and prices now change daily.
