But if it is compared with the share in the 2009 state budget which was placed at 19.4 million kiloliters, the premium consumption experienced a 10.6% raise, she said.

Legowo said that using of subsidized diesel oil in 2010 was estimated at 11.25 million kiloliters and kerosene 3.8 million kiloliters.

For diesel oil consumption based on an agreement with Commission VII it was estimated at 12.5 million kiloliters while in the 2009 state budget it was set at 11.6 million kiloliters, Legowo said.

The share for kerosene using both those agreed with the commission and set in the state budget was set in the same figure of 5.8 million kiloliters.

Altogether, the consumption of premium gasoline, diesel oil and kerosene in 2010 is expected to reach 36.5 million kiloliters, or a fall from the 38.94 million kiloliters agreed with Commission VII and from 36.85 million kiloliters set in the 2009 state budget.

The Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources said that the government had no plan yet to increase domestic fuel oil prices although world crude prices had been showing an upward trend in the world market.

The world crude price is predicted to increase next July in line with the summer holidays, said Purnomo Yusgiantoro, Energy and Mineral Resources Minister.
