KARACHI, PAKISTAN: A Pakistani employee of a service station helps drivers to form a queue to fill their vehicles with Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) in Karachi, 04 July 2005. Pakistani authorities have raised the price of CNG, an alternative and cheaper fuel compared to petrol, by 5.81 percent. The Pakistani government last week also increased petroleum product prices by an average of over three percent to adjust to the rise of oil prices in the international markets that hit 60 US Dollars a barrel.
