To ensure sufficient fuel supply during this year’s Ramadhan, Pertamina made estimations for the likely total use of fuel and gas. The demand for subsidized gasoline (Premium) and jet fuel (Avtur) is expected to increase, differing to the demand for subsidized diesel (Solar) .
 
Ahmad Bambang, Pertamina’s Director of Marketing and Trading, said that demand for Premium is expected to increase by 18%, from 76,000 to 89,000 kiloliters. Avtur demand will increase by 10%, from 11,000 to 12,000 kiloliters. Demand for liquefied petroleum gas will also increase by 11%, from 19,700 to 20,500 kiloliters. On the other hand, Pertamina believes that demand for iesel will decrease by 11%.
 
 “The average remaining stock throughout Ramadhan is 19 days for Premium, 22 days for Diesel, 26 days for Avtur Pertamax, and 17 days for LPG,” explained Mr. Bambang.
 
Despite the estimated high demand, Pertamina has said that prices will not be increased. Mr. Bambang said a price increase would be a burden on society, cause the price of primary needs to skyrocket.
 
Based on these considerations, Pertamina, according to Mr. Bambang, will ensure there will not be any fuel shortages through several measures. First, it will conduct a routine supply increase. Secondly, it will establish task force posts to supervise fuel and gas supply. Finally, the state oil company will monitor its services to the public.
 
Mr. Bambang also said that Pertamina is using a computerized Information Management of Supply and Distribution System, which will closely monitor and anticipate fuel shortages. The primary monitoring will be conducted along the main holiday traffic routes such as the Pantura track, South and Central Java, Banyuwangi, and Merak. Furthermore, Pertamina will also extend its operational hours to 24 hours a day.
