Gasoline drought affects Denpasar<\/p>\n
DENPASAR, Bali: Gasoline supplies here returned to normal on
\nMonday afternoon after two days of scarcity due to delivery
\nproblems.<\/p>\n
Most of the gas stations situated on the city's main streets
\nwere forced to cut their services over the last couple of days.
\nMany consumers turned to the more expensive type of gasoline
\npopularly called premix.<\/p>\n
A gas station attendant on Jl. Teuku Umar said each station
\nwas allotted eight tons of gasoline a day, only one third of the
\nnormal supply.<\/p>\n
To make matter worse, the gas stations could not fulfill the
\nquickly rising demand for premix. Some of them had ran out of
\npremix by Saturday night.<\/p>\n
Head of the state-owned oil company Pertamina office here,
\nAgus Nugroho, said the problem had arisen since the company had
\nmoved the gas reservoir from Sanggaran, some 15 kilometers away
\nfrom here, to Manggis in Karangasem, around 70 kilometers east of
\nhere.<\/p>\n
\"Our supply in Sanggaran had decreased, so we moved the
\ndelivery point to Manggis. It takes a tanker five or six more
\nhours to transport the gas to the stations,\" Agus said on Sunday.<\/p>\n
He called on people on the island not to worry about gasoline
\nsupplies. The supply in the two gasoline reservoirs was 5,350
\ntons and will be increased to 6,500 tons. Gas consumption here is
\nestimated at 900 tons per day. (zen)<\/p>",
