Higher Fuel Costs: Pertamax Prices Up in Bali

From 10 June, Pertamina increased the price of Pertamax fuel (octane rating: 92). In Bali, Java, Madura and Nusa Tenggara, a litre now costs 16,250 rupiah.

Before the increase, Pertamax was sold for 12,300 rupiah per litre. The rise is 3,950 rupiah, or around 32%.

Not all petrol has become more expensive. The price of Pertalite remains unchanged at 10,000 rupiah per litre. Subsidised Solar diesel still costs 6,800 rupiah.

Pertamina explains the increase as part of regular price adjustments for non-subsidised fuel. The company refers to the government formula, global oil prices and the market price of fuel.

Fuel Scam on Bali: Gas Station Busted for Mixing Cheap Fuel into Premium Tanks!

At one of Denpasar’s gas stations, workers were caught pouring cheaper, government-subsidized Pertalite fuel into tanks designated for the more expensive Pertamax.

A Denpasar police representative stated that four employees of the gas station are currently being questioned. The fraud was uncovered after local residents reported suspicious activity.

Pertamax Green 95 has also become more expensive, rising from 12,900 to 17,000 rupiah per litre. According to the company, Pertamax Turbo, Dexlite and Pertamina Dex were not increased as part of this change.

Pertamina separately clarified that this is not due to a fuel shortage. The company says supplies of Pertamax and Pertamax Green remain stable.
