Pertamax Series Fuel Consumption Rises Significantly During Eid Season
Pertamax Series has become the primary choice for the public during the outbound and return flow of Eid 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.
Vice President of Corporate Communication at PT Pertamina (Persero), Muhammad Baron, stated that the increased consumption of various Pertamax variants indicates that more people are choosing high-quality fuel 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,” he said.
It is known that on 20 March 2026, or H-1 before Eid, consumption of Pertamax (RON 92) was recorded to increase by 11.8 percent compared to the normal period average.
Meanwhile, the environmentally friendly product Pertamax Green (RON 95) recorded the highest increase, namely 94.7 percent 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 34.5 percent increase in consumption 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 to hometowns or holidays.
To anticipate this, Pertamina strives to meet the public’s energy needs during the 2026 Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr 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, fuel and LPG escort motorcyclists, and energy service points on strategic routes.
“We strive to ensure that public journeys during this Eid moment run comfortably until the return flow ends,” Baron said.
Nevertheless, Baron reminded the public to maintain 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.
