Welp, we've reached that point. A hundred bucks for a full tank and a pack of smokes!

Fuel light was on, but still had some left. If my math is right, I still had 2.3 gallons in the tank. If I had rolled in on fumes, the fuel would have literally taken the whole hundo and I wouldn't have been able to get my cigs!

Pertamax Turbo 98 is my gasoline for E400.

NON SUBSIDIZED Indonesian fuel price today........... a tiny bit cheaper than USA.


How much is a good diesel fuel price in USA now ?
https://gasprices.aaa.com/
about the same as Indonesia

But our minimum wage in Jakarta is only US$335 per month or Rp5.7 million


Subsidized fuel still exist, lower octane.

I recently paid almost $6/gallon for 93 octane and well over $100 for a fill up on the Cayenne which has a 25 gallon tank.

Al Gore wanted $7/gal gasoline 30 years ago, and people still voted for him. I guess it's different when it really happens.

Yes, 98 is the highest avialable and not available at all fuel stations. 98 is RON rating European, in USA eqyuivalent rating 98 RON is ony 93-94 octane.......... because USA uses different method of measure.
My car fuel tank sticker is 95 RON.

I filled up yesterday afternoon. I think it was $4.08/gal, but w/ $0.30/gal discount. Put just a hair over 20 gal in the tank (20.018 to be precise). Checked my fueling log, and that's the most I've ever squeezed in there. MPG was 20.1 for that tank. Not my best performance.
