Transport fuels in Indonesia are highly subsidized. The price for subsidized fuel is fixed and changes on an ad-hoc basis. However, only the retailing companies Pertamina and AKR Corporindo are allowed to sell subsidized diesel and gasoline at the pump (only 88 octance gasoline is subsidized, →App. A2). Other retailers, as e.g. Shell, are only allowed to sell non-subsidized diesel and gasoline (92 and 95 octance). The price difference is immense: As of Feb2011, the subsidized price for 88 octane gasoline was 4500 IDR, while non-subsidized gasoline starts from 8000 IDR (and higher, depending on the quality).
Because the subsidies mean an immense burden for the national budget, several ways of how subsidies can be reduced were investigated for the last years. A proposal in early 2011 was to limit the amount of subsidized fuels sold, e.g. by stopping subsidies for private car owners (while mass transit, industries, etc. still receive subsidies; see →App.A2).

Fuel Price Composition
Price composition.
Transport fuels are highly subsidized in Indonesia, resulting in fuel prices that are among the lowest in Asia. As of February 2011, about 43% of the actual costs of 88 octance gasoline are covered by the government through subsidies (→App. A2)
