fuel prices
Key Takeaways:
  1. The adjustment of non-subsidised fuel prices has triggered a significant surge in the operating costs of diesel fleets
  2. Fuel price fluctuations directly impact logistics costs, reimbursements, and business profit margins
  3. Implementing a fuel monitoring system serves as an effective solution for maintaining efficiency and preventing fuel waste
Fuel prices in Indonesia reversed course in early September 2026 following two consecutive months of decline. The increases took place in two stages. On September 1, Pertamina raised the prices of Pertamax Turbo, Dexlite, and Pertamina Dex. The following day, on September 2, it was the turn of Pertamax Green 95, which saw its price adjusted upward by Rp2,550 to Rp19,150 per liter.

Non-subsidised diesel products—key cost components for many operational fleets—saw the steepest price hikes. Pertamina Dex surged by Rp4,050 to Rp25,200, and Dexlite rose by Rp4,000 to Rp23,700; both increases were the highest recorded in 2026. Pertamax Turbo (RON 98) increased by Rp1,300 to Rp19,600. Only regular Pertamax (RON 92) remained unchanged at Rp15,950, alongside the subsidised fuels Pertalite and Biosolar. For diesel fleet operators, this translates to a significant spike in monthly costs within a matter of days.

Below is the table of Pertamina's latest fuel prices for the DKI Jakarta (JABODETABEK) region for 2026, including the most recent changes from the August 2026 period:

Fuel Type July 2026 August 2026 September 2026 Movement (Aug vs. Sep)
Pertalite (RON 90) Rp10.000 Rp10.000 Rp10.000 Rp0
Subsidised Diesel Rp6.800 Rp6.800 Rp6.800 Rp0
Pertamax (RON 92) Rp16.250 Rp15.950 Rp15.950 Rp0
Pertamax Green 95 (RON 95) Rp17.000 Rp16.600 Rp19.150 Increased by Rp2,550
Pertamax Turbo (RON 98) Rp19.300 Rp18.300 Rp19.600 Increased by Rp1,300
Dexlite (CN 51) Rp19.700 Rp19.700 Rp23,700 Increased by Rp4,000
Pertamina Dex (CN 53) Rp21.150 Rp21.150 Rp25.200 Increased by Rp4,050

The prices apply to regions with a 5% Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax (PBBKB), such as DKI Jakarta. The adjustments are being implemented in two stages: prices for Pertamax Turbo, Dexlite, and Pertamina Dex will rise on September 1, 2026, while the price for Pertamax Green 95 will increase on September 2, 2026. Prices for Pertamax 92 and subsidised fuels remain unchanged.

Fluctuations in fuel prices are driven by movements in global oil prices and the rupiah exchange rate. Adjustments are governed by the Decree of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources No. 245.K/MG.01/MEM.M/2022, which establishes the base price formula for general gasoline and diesel fuels.
According to Pertamina Patra Niaga’s VP of Corporate Communication, Kitty Andhora, this round of price adjustments was deliberately limited to a few non-subsidised products. Pertamax 92 was the only non-subsidised gasoline product to retain its price, while the price of Pertamax Green 95 was ultimately adjusted a day later.

This article compares fuel prices from Pertamina, Vivo, BP, and Shell for those who use fuel for company operations. By reviewing this comparison, you can easily identify the lowest gasoline prices and the highest octane ratings, as well as compare diesel prices.

 

Change in Non-Subsidised Diesel Prices

Diesel Products July 2026 August 2026 September 2026 Movement (Aug vs. Sep)
Dexlite (CN 51) Rp19.700 Rp19.700 Rp23,700 Increased by Rp4,000
Pertamina Dex (CN 53) Rp21.150 Rp21.150 Rp25.200 Increased by Rp4,050
Shell V-Power Diesel Rp21.340 Rp21.910 Rp25.420 Increased by Rp3,510
BP Ultimate Diesel Rp21.340 Rp21.910 Rp25.420 Increased by Rp3,510
Primus Plus (Vivo) Rp21.340 Rp21.910 Rp25.420 Increased by Rp3,510
Subsidised Biodiesel Rp6.800 Rp6.800 Rp6.800 Still

All non-subsidised diesel at private gas stations is now priced at Rp25,420 per liter. Pertamina Dex is slightly cheaper at Rp25,200, while Dexlite remains the cheapest non-subsidised diesel option at Rp23,700.

 

  • With Fluctuating Diesel Prices, How Have Fleet and Operational Costs Changed This Month?

An increase of Rp4,000 per liter may seem small on a gas station price board, but it becomes a significant figure when multiplied by a fleet's total consumption. For a fleet of 20 vehicles consuming 9,750 liters per month, the hike in Dexlite prices alone adds a burden of Rp39 million monthly—or nearly Rp468 million annually—without any increase in mileage. In this situation, the only variable the fleet can still control is the efficiency with which each liter is used.

Assumptions: fleet of 20 units, 150 km/day, 26 operational days, fuel consumption of 8 km/liter (9,750 liters per month), Dexlite price of Rp23,700.

Scenario Monthly fee Difference
August Cost (Dexlite Rp19,700) Rp192.075.000 —
September cost without monitoring Rp231,075,000 Expenses increased by Rp39,000,000 per month.
Consumption dropped by 5% through monitoring. Rp219.521.250 Save Rp11,553,750/month
Consumption dropped by 10% through monitoring* Rp207.967.500 Save Rp23,107,500/month

The Impact of Fuel Price Changes on Company Operating Costs

Changes in fuel prices will significantly impact several industries that rely on vehicle fleets for their operations, such as:

So, what are the impacts of changes in fuel prices in Indonesia on these businesses? Here's an explanation.

1. Fleet Cost Swell

Company vehicles such as official cars of directors, sales operational vehicles, and delivery vans/trucks will experience a surge in fuel costs. For example, a light truck with a consumption of around 488 liters per month, its diesel bill increased from Rp9,613,600 in August to Rp11,565,600 in September. This additional almost Rp2 million only applies to one unit, without any increase in mileage at all. This figure will be even more significant if multiplied by the number of working days and the number of fleets operating each day.

2. Surging Benefit and Reimbursement Costs

Cost increases will also occur if your company provides facilities such as transportation allowances or fuel reimbursement facilities. Meanwhile, if the company decides not to increase allowances or limits reimbursements, this can also affect the productivity and motivation of the field team.

3. Drastic Changes in Rates from Logistics Vendors 

Even if your company doesn't have a logistics fleet, the impact will still be felt if you use third-party shipping services. With changing fuel prices, logistics companies are very likely to impose fuel surcharges, so your company will still be affected.

4. Procurement Costs Increase 

Another impact that will be felt is in the procurement process for company needs. Company vendors, such as those providing raw materials, stationery, and maintenance, will increase the costs of their products or services. Therefore, companies are also likely to experience increased expenses compared to previous months.

5. Decrease in Profit Margin

The next impact is the dilemma that companies may face due to increasing operational costs. Companies will be faced with the choice of reducing profit margins or increasing selling prices, which of course carries the risk of losing customers.

Improve Fuel Efficiency with Fuel Monitoring from Cartrack 

Amidst fluctuating fuel prices, monitoring fuel usage is the best way to maintain efficiency. One technology you can utilise is Cartrack's Fuel Monitoring system.

Equipped with a fuel sensor, GPS tracker, and Mi-Fleet cost management system, you will have accurate data on your fleet's fuel consumption. You can also receive notifications if there is any potential fraud or fuel theft.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How much is a liter of Pertamax?

The price of one liter of Pertamax (RON 92) in the Jabodetabek area is Rp15,950 as of September 2026, unchanged from the August price. In provinces with higher Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax (PBBKB) rates, such as West Sumatra and Riau, the price of Pertamax can reach Rp16,650 per liter.

Why did the price of diesel rise in September 2026?

The price hike for non-subsidised diesel on September 1, 2026, represents the largest adjustment of the year. The price of Dexlite rose by Rp4,000 to Rp23,700 per liter, while Pertamina Dex increased by Rp4,050 to Rp25,200 per liter. Pertamina stated that the adjustment was based on a government formula that takes into account global crude oil prices, the rupiah exchange rate, taxes, and public purchasing power. The adjustment was deliberately limited to specific products, allowing the price of Pertamax 92 to remain unchanged at Rp15,950 per liter. For companies operating diesel-powered fleets, this increase has a direct impact on monthly operational costs.

What is the price of fuel as of today?

As of today (September 2026), Pertamina fuel prices in the Jabodetabek region are: Pertalite Rp10,000/liter, Pertamax Rp15,950/liter, Pertamax Green 95 Rp19,150/liter, Pertamax Turbo Rp19,600/liter, Biosolar Rp6,800/liter, Dexlite Rp23,700/liter, and Pertamina Dex Rp25,200/liter. Non-subsidised fuel prices are adjusted by Pertamina on the 1st of each month and may vary by province, depending on local Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax (PBBKB) rates.

Will fuel prices rise in September 2026?

Yes. The price increases took place in two stages. On September 1, 2026, the prices of three types of non-subsidised fuel rose: Pertamina Dex increased by Rp4,050 (to Rp25,200), Dexlite by Rp4,000 (to Rp23,700), and Pertamax Turbo by Rp1,300 (to Rp19,600). A day later, on September 2, 2026, the price of Pertamax Green 95 also rose by Rp2,550 to Rp19,150 per liter. Only regular Pertamax remained unchanged at Rp15,950, alongside the subsidised fuels Pertalite and Biosolar.

Has the price of Pertalite gone up?

No. The price of Pertalite (RON 90) remains at Rp10,000 per liter and has not changed during the adjustments in August or September 2026. As a subsidised fuel, Pertalite's price is set by the government and tends to remain stable—unlike non-subsidised fuels such as Pertamax Turbo and Dexlite, which are subject to periodic price evaluations based on global oil prices. The government, through the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, has also confirmed that the prices of subsidised fuels like Pertalite and Biosolar will not increase through the end of 2026, thereby providing cost certainty for both households and business operations.

What is the percentage increase in the price of Pertamax gasoline?

The price of Pertamax (RON 92) rose by approximately 32% on June 10, 2026, increasing from Rp12,300 to Rp16,250 per liter. Subsequently, the price dropped by Rp300 to Rp15,950 on August 1, 2026, representing a decrease of 1.85%. During the September 1, 2026 adjustment, the price of Pertamax remained unchanged at Rp15,950 per liter in the Jabodetabek region. Price increases in September actually applied to Pertamax Green 95, Pertamax Turbo, Dexlite, and Pertamina Dex.

How can you save money when fuel prices increase?
  • Maintain tire pressure at the recommended level for more efficient fuel consumption.
  • Avoid sudden acceleration and maintain a constant speed.
  • Reduce excess load on the vehicle.
  • Regularly service the engine and replace the air filter.
  • Plan a route to avoid traffic congestion.

For fleet managers, fuel wastage often goes unnoticed. Inefficient routes, excessive idling, and fuel misuse can all drive up monthly operating costs. GPS tracking and fleet management systems enable real-time monitoring of fuel consumption, allowing for measurable savings.For fleet managers, fuel wastage often goes unnoticed. Inefficient routes, excessive idling, and fuel misuse can all drive up monthly operating costs. GPS tracking and fleet management systems enable real-time monitoring of fuel consumption, allowing for measurable savings.

Why can the price of non-subsidised fuel change every month?

Prices for non-subsidised fuels—such as the Pertamax Series and Dexlite—are periodically evaluated in accordance with the mechanism outlined in the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Decree No. 245.K/MG.01/MEM.M/2022. Two primary factors influencing these prices are global oil price movements and the rupiah's exchange rate against the US dollar. When global oil prices soften, non-subsidised fuel prices tend to decrease, whereas they rise when oil prices strengthen. Consequently, price adjustments are typically announced on the first of the month, with the specific rates varying by province based on local Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax (PBBKB) regulations. For fleet managers, these monthly fluctuations make fuel costs difficult to predict when relying solely on manual reports; therefore, real-time consumption monitoring is essential to keep budgets under control.
