“I don’t know why, now using Pertalite is more expensive …” Page all

TANGERANG, KOMPAS.com- After the government raised the price of fuel oil (BBM) some time ago, a number of residents chose to fill up with petrol at Vivo and Shell instead of Pertamina.

One of them is Fahrudin, who is an online mototaxi.

“Now I prefer to fill up (petrol) in Vivo,” Fahrudin told Kompas.com on Sunday (9/25/2022).

According to Fahrudin, he chose to fill up with petrol at the Vivo petrol station because the queue wasn’t as long as when refueling at Pertamina petrol stations.

Furthermore, as an online mototaxi, the high mobility makes it very dependent on price and fuel economy.

“Now I don’t know why pertalitis has become more expensive. It’s not what it used to be,” he said.

He compared it to refueling at the Vivo gas station.

“Charging on the Vivo is also cheaper now, even if it’s a little expensive,” he said.

Similar to what Fahrudin said, another resident named Iqbal also prefers to fill up with petrol at Shell.

According to Iqbal, refueling Shell with petrol can make his bike more comfortable to ride and cheaper.

“It’s delicious in the oil filled Shell, the bike is lighter, it’s not too expensive,” Iqbal said on Sunday.

Iqbal used to purchase Rp 50,000 worth of gasoline from Shell to be used for business from the Karang Tengah area to Sukasari. Iqbal said the gas was enough for four days.
