Why does pakistan have so many? does pakistan have good gas resources?

Thts probably because of the gas load shedding otherwise i dnt we would still be the highest consumers of CNG... @Persian God King... yes biggest reserves are in baluchistan and than rest in sindh,KPK etc.

We tapped into a resource thinking that it would never run out..

That is because natural gas is much cheaper than gasoline and thus the car becomes much more affordable.

Pakistan has highest number of refueling stations.. that's really good infrastructure achievement ... India needs to expand it on eastern states by building pipeline direct from KG basin ..

Sadly that is the case. If there was no load shedding we would still be leading the world. But still we have led the world for ten years now and we are just in second place.

We still have to be thankful to God Almighty. We still have more than 10 years of gas left and probably more and we have been using the gas since 1950's much earlier than most of the world. That is more than 60 years of uninterrupted supply and maybe if we had conserved the gas better we would still have more. But past is past.

That is so true. In Pakistan the infrastructure is fully developed and there is so much potential for the growth in this sector.
