Globally fuel prices have been decreasing by 4$ in February 2023, the prices in Pakistan are increasing and there seems to be no end to this fiasco. The general public is very depressed as they have to provide for their selves and their families on limited incomes while inflation is increasing due to higher fuel prices.

There is no scope for alternative energy and electric vehicles in Pakistan. On top of that, the fuel pump owners stock the fuel before price change and then enjoy a huge profit on the cheaper petrol which they sell at higher prices. Government was also on the hunt for cheaper low quality fuel for motorcycles and auto rickshaws but that too is postponed now. The irony is that Pakistan can import fuel from Iran, We wonder why we don’t!
