The price increase of Pertamax fuel was initially feared to drive customers to cheaper gasoline alternatives. However, a JakPat survey revealed a different outcome.
The survey showed that 58% of Pertamax-using car drivers continued using the same fuel despite the price hike.
Furthermore, 50% chose to reduce their mobility, 39% switched from cars to motorcycles, and only 30% opted for cheaper gasoline.
The JakPat survey involved 1,295 respondents who regularly refuel their vehicles with Pertamax.
However, only 351 respondents regularly used Pertamax for cars.
The government raised the price of RON 92 gasoline, or Pertamax, on April 1, 2022. The price increased from Rp9,500 per liter to Rp12,500-13,500 per liter.
