Uzone.id – Indonesians are really confused because of the oil business here, guys. The price of cooking oil has become a scourge because the price reaches 25 thousand per liter, instead of Indonesia having the largest palm oil plantation in the world, you know.
Yes, it’s true that the palm oil area in Indonesia is the largest in the world. However, the question of prices is said to be still controlled by Malaysia that’s it. Welp.
Not finished dealing with Bimoli et al, there is a prediction that the price of Pertamax will rise drastically in April. The economic price has also been calculated to reach Rp. 16 thousand. Well, your head added nyut-nyutan may?.

Yes, of course the most dizzy is President Joko Widodo (Widodo) and his staff because they will fight hard so that the gasoline with RON 92 does not increase drastically.
If Pertamax only increased to Rp. 16 thousand – currently at Rp. 9 thousand per liter – of course there would be ripples in the lower middle class society.
Because millions of people will automatically switch to Pertalite. Well, if Pertalite stock sufficient demand. If not, there could be ‘chaos’ at the gas station.
In addition, online taxis will ask for a larger share due to the increase.
Well, therefore, lucky for those of you who already have an electric vehicle. He-he-he.
If only the fuel price went up drastically, what would the monetary impact be? Pertalite, which has RON 90, is still receiving subsidies from the government.
Launch Liputan6.com, the price of Pertalite gets a subsidy of IDR 3,350 per liter from the normal price of IDR 7,650 per liter. Imagine if Pertalite which is sold at Pertamina gas stations does not receive a subsidy, the price has already reached Rp. 11 thousand per liter!.
Agung Pribadi, Head of the Bureau of Communication, Public Information Services and Cooperation of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), recently said that fuel prices experienced another hike in February due to the Russo-Ukrainian war.
According to him, the economic price of Pertamax in April 2022 will penetrate Rp. 14,526 per liter, and can even penetrate Rp. 16 thousand per liter.
Not to mention the explosion at Aramco’s oil facilities in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, due to a drone attack controlled by the Houthi faction in Yemen.

The explosion at the oil facility caused world crude oil prices to rise to USD120 per barrel on Friday (25/3).
The Indonesian authorities in charge of monetary stabilization will certainly work harder if Pertamax increases because it has an effect on inflation.
Even if the government still intervenes to provide subsidies for Pertamax, the question is how long and how strong will it be?
Seeing that there will be a fuel price fluctuation in April 2022, apparently there are those who are relaxed, bae, they are owners of motorbikes or cars that already rely on electric motor propulsion.
Hence, they can still laugh when the price of fuel is getting more expensive.
Unfortunately, electric cars sold in the Indonesian market are still impressed by the upper middle class. For a pure electric car, the cheapest is Rp. 700 million.
Of course, we expect a lot from Wuling, who already has plans to launch a cheap pure electric car in Indonesia this year, namely the GGSEV which in China itself is sold for under Rp. 100 million.
“GSEV will come with the latest technology in Indonesia in 2022,” Wuling wrote on his official website.
Fortunately, pure electric motorcycles are widely available in Indonesia. Even the price is under Rp. 15 million, such as the output of the Volta brand.
