Extra fuel for Idul Fitri

JAKARTA (JP): Pertamina, the state-owned oil company, will increase fuel supplies to the public during the Idul Fitri festivities.

Head of Pertamina's Jakarta and West Java Oil Depot Arya Imam Sanusi announced over the weekend that supplies will be increased by 10 percent for gasoline and four percent for diesel fuel.

He said the extra 10 percent supply of gasoline was based on the assumption that the number of vehicles will increase during the Moslem holidays, which fall on March 3 and 4.

Sanusi said Pertamina has asked gas stations to stay open 24 hours during Idul Fitri. (25)
