The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) recorded an 11% increase in gasoline consumption (BBM) – such as Pertamax and Premium – during the period from seven days before to seven days after Idulfitri 2019, reaching 103,585 kiloliters (KL) per day. Normal daily gasoline consumption is 93,884 KL.
Meanwhile, gasoil (diesel fuel) consumption decreased by 22%, reaching 32,793 KL per day. Normal daily gasoil consumption is 42,291 KL. According to the Minister of ESDM, Ignasius Jonan, the decrease in diesel consumption was due to a ban on trucks using the Trans-Java toll road, except for those transporting fuel or basic necessities.
Jonan assessed that Pertamina (Persero)'s readiness in providing fuel during the 2019 Idulfitri period was better than the previous year. Pertamina deployed 10 new regular gas stations along the Trans-Java toll road. In Central Java alone, Pertamina MOR IV deployed more than 700 gas stations.
