TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Pertamina president director Nicke Widyawati said the company estimates this year's fuel import to increase by 13.5 percent to 113 million barrels. Last year, the state-owned energy company imported 97.8 million barrels.
The import of Premium Gasoline of Ron 88 is 53.7 million barrels, while Pertamax gasoline or RON 92 is 59.3 million barrels. From the amounts, she said, Premium import volume is down while Pertamax's is raised.
