GAS STATIONS IN JAKARTA LOWER PREMIUM GASOLINE PRICE
Jakarta, Dec 1 (ANTARA)- Gas stations in Jakarta beginning on December 1, 2008 or Sunday night (00.00 local time-WIB) lowered the premium gasoline price from Rp6,000 to Rp5,500 per liter.
The government decided to cut the price of subsidized premium gasoline by Rp500 to Rp5,500 per liter effective December 1, 2008. The decision was based on the global crude prices which in recent weeks had declined to below US$60 per barrel.
A gas station (SPBU) in Cempaka Putih area in Jakarta , for instance, at 24.00 hours, immediately changed the premium gasoline price tag from Rp6,000 to Rp5,500 per liter.
"Go ahead, Sir,...premium gasoline now costs Rp500 less per liter," a gas station worker told a motorist, adding that he had received the information from state-owned oil/gas company PT Pertamina.
Previously, another SPBU worker in East Jakarta on Sunday night said many motorists asked whether or not the premium gasoline price had declined.
SPBU worker in Kwitang Raya St. had also made announcement about the gasoline price cut.
There was no queue of motorbikes or cars at the gas stations on that night, unlike when the fuel oil prices would be raised in the past.
In the meantime, the Regional Representatives Council (DPD) said the government's decision to lower the premium gasoline price from Rp6,000 to Rp5,500 per liter starting December 1 was insignificant and would not raise the people's purchasing power.
"Therefore, we call on the government to lower the price of the commodity further to Rp 5,000 per liter," DPD ad hoc committee chairman Anthony Charles Sunarjo said at the DPD building here recently.
In addition, PT Pertamina beginning on December 1, 2008 at 00:00 West Indonesia Standard Time (WIB) also lowered the price of industrial fuel oil by 1.-9.4 percent of the price set on November 15, 2008.
Pertamina announced in Jakarta on Sunday that the price reduction followed the decline in the price of mean oil
platts of Singapore (MOPS), although the rupiah had been depreciating against the US dollar.
The decision to that effect was laid down in a regulation of Pertamina's Management No.Kpts-201/F00000/2008-S3 dated November 28, 2008.
Under the decision, the price of premium industrial fuel oil in region-4 covering the Medan Group Installation, Panjang Depot,
Tanjung Gerem Terminal Transit, Plumpang Depot, Tanjung Priok Installation, Cikampek Depot, Semarang/Pengapon Installation, and Surabaya Group Installation, had been set at Rp5,652 per liter.
