BP Ultimate Diesel Price Drops, Full Tank for Hyundai Santa Fe Now Rp 2 Million

JAKARTA - The reduction in the price of BP Ultimate Diesel starting 8 May 2026 is impacting the operational costs of premium diesel SUVs, including users of the diesel-engined Hyundai Santa Fe. Currently, BP Ultimate Diesel is sold at Rp 29,890 per litre, a drop of Rp 1,000 compared to the previous price of Rp 30,890 per litre. This price adjustment makes the cost of fuelling diesel vehicles slightly lighter. With the latest BP Ultimate Diesel price, the cost required to fill the tank fully reaches around Rp 2,002,630. This amount is lower than before, which could reach around Rp 2.06 million for a single full fill-up. This price drop is certainly good news for users of diesel SUVs who regularly undertake long-distance journeys. Besides BP Ultimate Diesel, owners of the Hyundai Santa Fe diesel also have other non-subsidised diesel fuel options at lower prices, such as Pertamina Dex and Dexlite. Meanwhile, with Dexlite priced at Rp 26,000 per litre, the full tank fill-up cost becomes around Rp 1,742,000. The use of high-quality diesel fuel is considered important to maintain the performance of modern diesel engines, especially vehicles that already use common-rail and turbo diesel technology like the Hyundai Santa Fe diesel. Besides being more sensitive to fuel quality, modern diesel engines also require low sulphur content so that the injection and combustion systems continue to work optimally. If the diesel quality is poor, the risk of carbon deposits to injector disruptions can increase. Therefore, some diesel SUV users still choose non-subsidised fuel with higher specifications to maintain engine durability, even though the fuel cost is relatively more expensive.
