According to data from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), Indonesia's consumption of RON 90 gasoline in 2022 reached 29.68 million kiloliters.

This consumption increased by approximately 27% compared to 2021, marking the highest record in the last eight years, as shown in the graph above.

In Indonesia, RON 90 gasoline is sold under various brands such as Pertalite (Pertamina), BP 90 (BP-AKR), and Revvo 90 (Vivo).

Of these three brands, Pertalite is the cheapest RON 90 gasoline due to government subsidies.

In June 2023, the price of Pertalite was set at Rp10,000 per liter. Revvo 90 was priced at Rp11,200 per liter, while BP 90 was the most expensive at Rp12,550 per liter.

According to Abra Talattov, Head of the Food, Energy, and Sustainable Development Center at INDEF, the low price of Pertalite is one of the factors hindering the adoption of electric vehicles.

"As long as the Pertalite subsidy remains open and unsubsidized, this poses a challenge to the sales of electric vehicles, especially motorcycles," said Abra, as reported by *Katadata.co.id* (May 23, 2023).

"Because all groups can access Pertalite gasoline, the use of conventional cars and motorcycles remains operationally affordable," he continued.

The Ministry of ESDM also recorded that Indonesia imported 15.1 million kiloliters of RON 88 and RON 90 gasoline throughout 2022.

This figure is significantly higher than the volume of RON 92 gasoline imports, which amounted to 6.39 million kiloliters, and RON 95 gasoline imports, which were only 115 thousand kiloliters.
