TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - State-owned oil and gas company Pertamina has scheduled to launch Pertalite, a new type of RON (Octane Number) 90 fuel, after Eid al-Fitr. Pertamina spokesperson Wianda Pusponegoro, said that the company has started to distribute the new fuel.
"The trial will be started this week," Wianda said at Pertamina head office in Jakarta on Wednesday, July 22, 2015.

Wianda added that Pertalite will be available in 103 gas stations in the aforementioned cities: 44 gas stations in Jakarta, 30 gas stations in Surabaya and 29 gas stations in Bandung.
Wianda revealed that Pertamina had started to supply eight tons of Pertalite in each gas station in preparation to launch the new fuel.
