Jakarta –
The price of fuel oil (BBM) in Malaysia is often compared with prices in Indonesia. This is because the price of fuel in Malaysia is said to be cheaper and of higher quality than in Indonesia.
Is this claim true? Launching the official website of the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Kos Sara Hidup Malaysia, Friday (30/6/2023), gasoline prices in Malaysia start from RM 2.05 per liter for gasoline equivalent to RON 95 or around IDR 6,560 per liter (exchange rate IDR 3,200) .
Then, for RON 97 gasoline, the price is RM 3.37 per liter or around Rp. 10,784 per liter. Meanwhile, diesel costs at RM 2.15 or around Rp. 6,880 per liter. From the official website, it is stated that this fuel price is valid from 29 June to 5 July 2023.
How about the comparison in Indonesia?
When compared to Pertamina, as a state-owned gasoline company, the cheapest fuel price is set at IDR 10,000 per liter which is Pertalite subsidized fuel with RON 90. This price applies throughout Indonesia.
Then, there is Pertamax with RON 92 at a price of IDR 12,400 per liter which is a special price for the Jakarta and surrounding areas. Furthermore, there is also Pertamax Turbo with RON 98, in the same area the price is IDR 13,600 per liter.
For diesel prices, Pertamina’s Biosolar products are priced at IDR 6,800 per liter and are valid throughout Indonesia. Meanwhile, Dexlite products containing CN 51 are priced at IDR 12,650 per liter in Jakarta and its surrounding areas. Still in the same area, the price for the Pertamina Dex product containing CN 53 is set at IDR 13,250 per liter.
Unlike Malaysia, which updates prices once a week, in Indonesia, fuel prices are updated once a month. Most likely tonight there will be an announcement of the latest fuel prices.
