Gilgit is Pakistan’s northernmost major city, home to K2 and the Karakoram Highway. All fuel supply is road-based via the KKH — one of the world’s highest paved roads — making Gilgit the most expensive city for Hi-Octane in Pakistan. KKH disruptions in winter can cause temporary fuel shortages.
Hi-Octane (HOBC) in Gilgit: Extremely limited — PSO only, stock often unavailable in winter. Current price approximately Rs. 552/litre — Rs. 230.83 more per litre than regular petrol. Hi-Octane is only necessary for turbocharged engines and vehicles requiring 95 RON or above. For most locally assembled cars (Suzuki, Honda, Toyota non-turbo), regular 92 RON petrol at Rs. 321.17/L is the correct and sufficient fuel.
