What is the fuel consumption of RON 88 and RON 90 gasoline in Indonesia?

The government plans to eliminate Premium and Pertalite gasoline. These two types of fuel have research octane numbers (RON) of 88 and 90, respectively.

The government hopes that eliminating these two types of fuel will reduce air pollution caused by motor vehicles. Data from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) shows that consumption of fuel with an octane rating of 88 has decreased from 2015 to 2020, coinciding with the emergence of fuel with an octane rating of 90.
