Jakarta (B2B) - Pertamina menyatakan komsumsi BBM di Indonesia akhir-akhir ini menunjukkan penurunan khususnya BBM jenis premium dan solar sebagai dampak penurunan ekonomi global.
"Konsumsi BBM sejumlah negara juga turun meski harga minyak sedang rendah sekarang ini," kata Wakil Presiden Pemasaran Bahan Bakar Pertamina, M Iskandar, di Jakarta.
Secara umum, penurunan terjadi pada konsumsi premium dan solar sekitar 7 ribu kiloliter per hari di hampir semua stasiun pengisian bahan bakar umum (SPBU).
Pada 2014, konsumsi premium mencapai 29,63 juta kiloliter atau 81.000 kiloliter per hari dan kini 74.000 kiloliter per hari.
Sementara, solar turun dari 16,24 juta kiloliter atau 44 ribu kiloliter per hari menjadi 37 ribu kiloliter per hari.
Iskandar juga mengatakan, penurunan konsumsi premium juga dikarenakan sebagian konsumen beralih ke pertamax. "Sejak harga premium dan pertamax tidak berbeda jauh, konsumsi pertamax meningkat," katanya.
Menurut dia, penjualan pertamax mengalami kenaikan dari sebelumnya sekitar 2 ribu kiloliter menjadi 7 ribu kiloliter per hari. Saat ini, premium dijual dengan harga Rp6.900 per liter dan pertamax Rp8.600 per liter.
Iskandar juga menambahkan, dalam dua tahun terakhir, pertumbuhan konsumsi BBM memang sudah melambat. "Premium yang sebelumnya tumbuh sampai sembilan persen, turun menjadi tiga persen."
Jakarta (B2B) - The Indonesian state oil and gas company, known as the Pertamina declared the domestic consumption of gasoline and diesel oil in the transportation sector dropped in recent weeks due to global economic pressures.
"Fuel consumption has dropped in several other countries as well, despite the current low prices of oil," Vice President for Fuel Marketing of Pertamina, M. Iskandar said here.
The sale of premium gasoline and diesel oil at gasoline stations declined by 7,000 kiloliters per day, he added.
In 2014, premium gasoline consumption reached 29.63 million kiloliters, which was 81 thousand kiloliters per day, but it is now 74 thousand kiloliters per day, he stated.
Moreover, diesel oil consumption plummeted from 16.24 million kiloliters, or 44 thousand kiloliters per day, to 37 thousand kiloliters per day.
Iskandar further noted that premium gasoline consumption had declined because many consumers had switched to using pertamax gasoline.
"As the prices of premium and pertamax gasoline are not very different, the consumption of pertamax gasoline has increased," he affirmed.
According to the Pertamina official, the sale of pertamax gasoline rose to 7 thousand kiloliters per day from 2 thousand kiloliters per day.
Currently, premium gasoline is sold at Rp6,900 per liter and pertamax gasoline at Rp8,600 per liter.
In addition, Iskandar pointed out that fuel consumption had slowed down in the last couple of years. "Premium gasoline consumption currently grows by 3 percent as compared to 9 percent earlier."
