Pertamax Series Becomes the Favourite for Eid 2026 as Consumption Surges

Products from PT Pertamina (Persero), namely the Pertamax Series, became the primary choice for the public during the Eid homecoming and return flows in 2026. This is evident from the significant surge in consumption of several Pertamax products during the Ramadan to Eid al-Fitr period, compared to the average daily consumption in January 2026 (normal consumption). Vice President of Corporate Communication at PT Pertamina (Persero), Muhammad Baron, stated that the increase in consumption of various Pertamax-type fuel variants compared to the normal daily average in January 2026 indicates that more people are choosing high-quality fuel. This is believed to support more comfortable and optimal long-distance journeys. “Homecoming trips are synonymous with long distances and dynamic traffic conditions. Therefore, many people choose Pertamax Series to keep vehicle performance optimal during the journey,” said Baron. On 20 March 2026, or H-1 before Eid, which is one of the peaks of the outbound flow, consumption of Pertamax (RON 92) was recorded to increase by 11.8% compared to the normal period average. Meanwhile, the environmentally friendly product Pertamax Green (RON 95) recorded the highest increase of 94.7% compared to the normal period. This surge shows increasing public interest in more environmentally friendly fuel. Pertamax Turbo, intended for high-performance vehicles, also experienced a consumption increase of 34.5% compared to the normal daily average. Baron added that the Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr period, especially during holiday moments, is synonymous with increased public mobility, both for returning home or holidays. To anticipate this, Pertamina has endeavoured to meet the public’s energy needs during the Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr 2026 period adequately. Pertamina has increased supply stocks well in advance and prepared various additional services on attention routes, namely homecoming routes and tourist locations such as 24-hour alert fuel stations, motorist fuel and LPG escorts, and energy service points on strategic routes. “We strive to ensure that the public’s journeys during this Eid moment run comfortably until the return flow ends,” said Baron. Nevertheless, Baron reminded the public to manage their energy consumption according to needs. “In line with the Middle East conflict affecting the global energy situation, Pertamina urges the public to jointly maintain the fuel and LPG supplies already provided by Pertamina. Active public participation in conserving energy, such as buying according to needs and practising energy efficiency, will help ensure energy availability in Indonesia,” said Baron.
