PSO High-Octane Price Cut to Rs 399/Litre

reportedly on 11 November 2026 that Pakistan State Oil’s high-octane petrol price has gone down in a set of listed cities, with most of them now shown at Rs 399 per litre instead of Rs 415. That means a reported saving of Rs 16 per litre at those locations, while Bahawalpur, Multan, and Sahiwal are listed at Rs 404 per litre, or Rs 11 less than before. These are reported city prices, not a confirmed nationwide PSO rate, so you should still check the pump board before filling up.

What prices were reported in each city?

reportedly the lower price was seen in Karachi, Gwadar, Hyderabad, Sukkur, Quetta, Jhelum, Lahore, Gujranwala, Faisalabad, Rawalpindi, and Abbottabad. In those cities, the reported rate moved from Rs 415 to Rs 399 per litre.

The same report lists Bahawalpur, Multan, and Sahiwal at Rs 404 per litre, down from Rs 415. That split matters for drivers because the saving is not the same everywhere, even within the same fuel brand.

If your car actually uses high-octane fuel, this kind of cut can trim the weekly bill a little. If your vehicle does not need it, the lower price still does not mean you should switch without checking the manual first.

How much does the saving add up to?

The maths is simple. A 40-litre fill at Rs 399 instead of Rs 415 saves Rs 640.

At Rs 404 instead of Rs 415, the same 40-litre fill saves Rs 440. That is useful for owners who top up often, but the real impact depends on how much you drive and whether your engine is meant to run on premium fuel in the first place.

For many Pakistani drivers, the bigger question is not just price. It is whether the car needs high-octane at all, or whether regular petrol is fine for normal use.

What should you check before refuelling?

Start with the owner’s manual or the fuel-filler label. If the maker says regular petrol is okay, don’t pay extra just because the car is turbocharged or new.

Then check the station board before you put fuel in the tank. PSO pumps in one city can show a different rate from another city, and other oil companies may show different prices too.

This is also where a small habit can save money. If you are comparing fuels, note the kilometres you actually get per litre and your total spend over a few tanks, not just the price on the board. Our earlier guide on Pakistan Fuel Price Relief Talks: No Cut Yet is worth a look if you want the wider fuel-price picture.

Could the price move again?

Yes, it could. High-octane pricing can change again if market costs move, but nothing in the available report confirms another cut.

So the safest move is still the same: treat Rs 399 and Rs 404 as the reported PSO prices in the named cities on 11 November 2026, and verify the latest board at your nearest station before you refuel.

Conclusion

PSO’s reported high-octane price is Rs 399 per litre in most listed cities and Rs 404 per litre in Bahawalpur, Multan, and Sahiwal. That’s a real saving for drivers whose cars are meant to run on premium fuel, but it is not a reason to guess your way through the fuel tank. Check your manual, compare the station board, and only pay for high-octane when your car actually needs it.
