Introduced\non October 15, the service allows residents with motorcycles to purchase\nup to three liters of subsidized Pertalite (RON 90) fuel per\ntransaction.<\/p>\n<p>Rahedi assured the public that Bali had sufficient fuel stocks to\nmeet demand. An additional 48 million liters of Pertalite were scheduled\nfor phased distribution from October 7 to 17, equivalent to about two\nweeks of supply under normal conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, Bali Governor I Wayan Koster issued a circular introducing\nan island-wide odd-even system for fuel purchases based on the last\ndigit of vehicle registration plates.<\/p>\n<p>The measure was in effect from October 17 to 19 to ease pressure on\ngas stations across Bali. Under the directive, only vehicles with\nodd-numbered registration plates were allowed to refuel on Saturday,\nOctober 17, while vehicles with even-numbered plates could refuel on\nSunday, October 18.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTogether with the Bali provincial government, we will continue to\nmonitor queues and conduct regular evaluations to assess the measures\u2019\nimpact on queue lengths, waiting times, and traffic conditions around\ngas stations,\u201d Rahedi said.<\/p>\n<p>Related news: Pertamina backs Bali\u2019s odd-even rule for Pertalite\npurchases<\/p>\n<p>Related news: Pertamina ramps up Bali fuel recovery, targets 48\nmillion liters<\/p>\n<p>Translator: Dewa Ketut SW, Nabil Ihsan<\/p>",
